The U.S. Supreme Court on July 3 rejected Montana’s request to reinstate a long-blocked law that requires parental consent before a doctor may perform an abortion on a minor.

Although the state’s Parental Consent for Abortion Act was enacted in 2013, it has been held up in litigation since then and has never taken effect. The law would require girls under the age of 18 to obtain notarized, written parental consent before seeking an abortion unless a judicial waiver is granted.
