Getting an Abortion - What's the Point?
The court struck down Pennsylvania's spousal notification requirement, saying that presented a substantial obstacle to getting an abortion by giving the husband too much control over the decision. In doing so, the court effectively grants its blessing to states who want to use these tactics to make it harder for women to get abortions in the future. The vagueness of these terms is sort of the whole point. They're designed to create wiggle room for states to implement abortion restrictions under certain circumstances.
