It's been on hold for more than 15 years but the Illinois Supreme Court may just bring a resolution to a law that requires parents be notified before their child has an abortion. The Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act was enacted in 1995 but has never been enforced because of a lawsuit contesting its constitutionality. The law requires physicians to notify parents before a young woman has an abortion. The ACLU is representing the plaintiffs in the Hope Clinic versus Brent Adams case. Spokesperson Lorie Chaiten [[ Chay-ten ]] says they've never had an opportunity to prove the merits of the case in trial. She says the Supreme Court has long recognized constitutional protections for a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy. Therefore, she hopes the justices will finally allow the case to be heard in a trial court.
