Hodgson v. Minnesota

Minnesota required minors to notify both parents before obtaining an abortion, with a judicial-bypass option as required by prior precedent; the trial court struck the law down, finding it significantly burdened minors' abortion rights because many legitimately feared parental violence and were unlikely to use the bypass option, and that the law's real purpose was deterring abortions rather than promoting informed family decision-making. The case reached the Supreme Court for review.
