Status after Dobbs
As with all other Supreme Court abortion cases between Roe v. Wade and Dobbs v. Jackson Women Health Organization, the infobox for this case states that it was superseded by Dobbs. I am not sure this is true.

Although states can now ban abortion completely, it does not necessarily follow that regulations that "do not further any legitimate state interest", as the Hodgson court found to be the case for Minnesota's two-parent notification law, are also constitutional, so it remains possible that this holding is still good law.

I am not aware of any state that presently has analogous laws to the one at issue in this case, but it is at least academically arguable that the "superseded by Dobbs" prompt should be removed for now. LunaticLarry (talk) 06:29, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
