HISTORICAL NOTE
In 1981, Minnesota passed legislation that required doctors, hospitals, and clinics to notify both parents at least 48 hours before performing abortions on women under the age of 18. A lawsuit seeking to have the law voided was filed on July 30, 1981, one day before the law was to go into effect. It was brought by three physicians, including Jane Hodgson, an obstetrician and gynecologist who had spoken out against restrictive abortion laws for years, several minors, one parent, several clinics, and Planned Parenthood of Minnesota. The suit contended that the law violated the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment by interfering with a minor’s right to choose and unreasonably interfered with the decision to have an abortion. They also contended that fear of a negative parental reaction and possible harassment would discourage many young women from seeking safe abortions and would discourage many clinics and hospitals from providing abortions. U.S. District Judge Donald Alsop granted an injunction of the mandatory notification provisions of the law which triggered another provision of the law, the judicial bypass. The bypass allowed young women to petition a judge to grant an abortion without notification of their parents. No notice to either parent was needed if the woman was married, living away from home and supporting herself, if prompt action was needed to save her life, or if she was a victim of abuse or neglect from her parents. In confidential hearings before the judge, the woman would have to prove that at least one of the above provisions applied and that she was mature enough and capable of giving conformed consent to go through with the abortion.
Neither side of the abortion debate was satisfied with the above solution; each began gathering statistics on the abortion rate for juveniles and testimony from medical experts and court officials on how the law was working. Hodgson, et al., again challenged the Minnesota law in U.S. District Court in early 1986. The judge struck down the law as unconstitutional and an unreasonable restriction on a young woman's rights. In 1987, the case was appealed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, which initially upheld the district court decision but later reversed itself. Hodgson, et al., then appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which heard the case during the 1989 term. On June 25, 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the two parent Minnesota notification law as constitutional because of the judicial bypass procedure provision and thus affirmed the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals decision.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS
The district court files (1923-1990) include trial transcripts, depositions of minors, witness files, defendant's and plaintiff's exhibits, a partial pleadings register, articles and legal research, subject files and notes, and material relating to other abortion cases heard by the U. S. Supreme Court or decided in other U. S. district courts. The Court of Appeals series (1987) contains briefs, reply and amicus briefs, and the appendix; while the U. S. Supreme Court files (1986-1990) include correspondence, attorney notes, the oral argument transcript, legislative history documentation, an amicus curiae brief, and the pleadings register. The latter includes the final decision and related opinions.
