- Description
- This article starts with an examination of the Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, the foundational case in abortion jurisprudence. From there, it looks at the federal constitutional challenge to the Massachusetts parental consent law and then turns to the state constitutional challenge to reveal the discordant strains in the courts' thinking about abortion, when the woman desiring to avoid maternity is a teenager.
