No that's not what he ruled.

The state required the woman seeking the abortion to check a box on the form.

The choices on the form were

(1) i have notified the father that I am getting an abortion
(2) i don't know who the father is
(3) i don't know where the father is
(4) i feel informing the father would put me in danger

There was no obligation whatsoever to seek the father's consent, and there was no way of verification of whether the father had been actually informed.

Alito ruled that this requirement passed constitutional muster.
