Victory! Federal Court Orders Parental Notice Laws Restored to Protect Minors Seeking Abortion, in a case almost 40 years in the making.

Reno, NV – In December 2023, we wrote to tell you how Planned Parenthood describes abortion in Nevada: “No parental involvement requirement.” Why? Because for almost 40 years, a court order has wrongly stopped enforcement of Nevada’s parental notice laws. We told you PJI was taking action to fix that, and we did, teaming up with brave public officials, the Bopp Law Firm and Nevada Right to Life to take a stand in federal court to restore protections for young girls, the preborn and parents.

Yesterday afternoon, a federal court ordered that after a forty-year pause, Nevada’s parental notice laws will take full effect in 30 days. Nevada District Court Judge Anne Traum issued a 27 page order granting our motion filed on behalf of the Carson City District Attorney and the Lyon County District Attorney. Our motion asked to lift an order blocking enforcement of three parental notification requirements for minors seeking abortion because this long-standing legal blockade (“injunction”) had no basis in law.

The Nevada District Court agreed, recognizing that this decades’ old injunction was wrong, and its continuation was “inequitable.” In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe, recognizing that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.”

Attorney Emily Mimnaugh says, “This is a great day for Nevada, and almost forty years in the making. This is a win for common sense. A bipartisan Nevada legislature overwhelmingly approved these commonsense parental notice requirements, and a Democrat Governor signed them into law to safeguard young girls and to respect parents.”

Brad Dacus said, “The parental notice requirements were constitutional in 1985 when they were signed into law, and they are constitutional today. Parental notice prioritizes the safety of pregnant girls and respects the rights of parents and the preborn.”

It may have taken years, but PJI will never stop fighting to protect the lives of the preborn, to defend the safety of young girls and to stand up for parental rights.

The case is Planned Parenthood Monte Mar v. Ford, No. 3:85-cv-331-ART-CSD, (D. Nev. Mar. 31, 2025).
