ANNOTATION
Colorado Parental Notification Act is unconstitutional. The act violates the rights of minor women protected by the fourteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. supreme court has required that any abortion regulation except from its reach an abortion medically necessary for the preservation of the mother's health. The act fails to provide such a health exception, and the delay inherent in the act's notification requirements will place some women at risk of serious health problems or even death. Planned Parenthood of Rocky Mtns. Servs. Corp. v. Owens, 107 F. Supp. 2d 1271 (D. Colo. 2000), aff'd, 287 F.3d 910 (10th Cir. 2002) (decided under former law).
