U.S. Supreme Court rejects Montana’s bid to revive parental consent law for minors' abortions

submitted by

The parental consent law passed in 2013, but was blocked in court and never took effect before being invalidated last year. [...] Montana’s highest court recognized a right to abortion before the Supreme Court overturned it nationwide, and voters also enshrined it in the Montana Constitution last year. That amendment took effect July 1, 2025.

The SC is all over the place these days.

It’s Montana’s state Supreme Court, not the federal Supreme Court. Two distinct entities under a confusing name scheme.

the federal supreme court refused to hear an appeal of the montana supreme court's ruling

Well damn, even I got confused then.

Something something states’ rights is my guess.

This is literally the sole hope I have for the USSC. It is still ruinous to the nation, but at least means there are places you will be able to go that aren't utter shitholes.

we usually call it the SCOTUS

Or as I've been calling it... SCrOTUS


No, no, let 'em cook.
The way we're going we'll all be

My bad, kinda had a brain fart on that one




If everyone is supreme, then is anyone?




Easy fix. Just call it the Supreme Supreme Court. SS Court for short.



This court always has been. For a long time I was collecting SCOTUS stories where the rulings could be regarded as liberal, or, gasp, even woke. There was about double what's pictured here.

if abortion is illegal then it is illegal for parents to consent to them.

Abortion is explicitly legal in Montana. The parental consent law would have meant that parental approval was required for a minor to get an abortion.

The Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade made it state laws that matter on abortion.

What happens when Trump dissolves the states ?

What does state law matter if Montana doesn't exist ?

Just a heads up I'm not sure it's your name but it that does surface a name when a non-member clicks the link ;)

that's the author's name. i was just quoting the article which itself links to a gift link







but abortion is not illegal


not for the gop and thier mistresses.


But if it becomes illegal this ruling will stand up to scrutiny.

And if your mother had wheels she'd be a bike
