The United States Supreme Court struck down the decision of a federal appeals court on Monday that permitted underage girls to seek permission from a court to undergo an abortion without notifying their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Epoch Times<\/em><\/a>, Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson<\/a> was the sole member of the nine justices to dissent against the ruling. The case, Chapman v. Doe<\/em>, court file 22-312<\/a> vacated the ruling of the appeals court based upon the precedent of United States v. Munsingwear, Inc,<\/em> one that enables the court to vacate a ruling that has been rendered moot without creating a new precedent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ScotusBlog<\/a> reports, \u201cThe case stemmed from a lawsuit alleging that the clerk, Michelle Chapman, violated the rights of a pregnant 17-year-old, known as Jane Doe. Under Missouri law, Doe was required to obtain written permission from at least one parent before obtaining an abortion. But the law also allows minors to bypass that requirement by going to court, which can grant permission after holding a hearing. When Doe went to the courthouse in 2018 to seek a judicial bypass, Chapman interpreted Missouri laws to require her to notify Doe\u2019s parents of the hearing. Doe instead opted to go to Illinois, where she obtained a judicial bypass and, later, an abortion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, the unidentified minor filed a civil rights lawsuit against Chapman claiming her\u00a014th Amendment<\/a>\u00a0Rights were violated. Chapman argued that as an officer of the court following Missouri statute and a Judge\u2019s order was immune to the lawsuit. The\u00a0Eighth Circuit Court<\/a>\u00a0of Appeals allowed the case to proceed, finding in its opinion that the right to bypass parental consent was \u201cclearly established under the 14th Amendment,\u201d according to Epoch Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her dissent, Jackson noted, \u201cjudicial decisions are valuable and should not be cast aside lightly, especially because judicial precedents \u2018\u2018are not merely the property of private litigants,\u2019\u2019 but also belong to the public and \u2018\u2018legal community as a whole.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my view, it is crucial that we hold the line and limit the availability of Munsingwear<\/em> vacatur to truly exceptional cases,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the court\u2019s \u201ccore principles warrant an exceedingly cautious approach to\u00a0Munsingwear<\/em>\u00a0vacatur requests,\u201d Jackson observed, \u201cour recent practices reflect a sharp uptick in the number of vacaturs awarded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
