Colorado Appeals Court Affirms Denial of Judicial Bypass for Teenager Seeking Abortion

Via Andrew Oh-Willeke at Colorado Confidential:

Colorado requires either parental notice, or a court order (called a judicial bypass) for a minor to obtain an abortion.  The Colorado Court of Appeals, in an expedited appeal, affirmed a trial courts' order denying a minor a judicial bypass, in a ruling issued today. The case appears to be the first of its kind in Colorado at the appellate level and relied heavily on persuasive authority from other states with similar laws.
