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.

Planned Parenthood is adamantly against his nomination.........Alito seems to be a staunch conservative. Apparently his history of votes on reproduction also include NOT putting the health of the mother ahead of abortion rights. THough I can live with having the father to be notified, I cannot accept his inability to put the mother's health above all else! Abortion rights will be deteriorating under this nominee.. I too well remember having pregnant girls in school with me and the plight they went through as their pregnancy began to show. THe father's just got a smile and a pat on the back from their buds..............the girl suffered dramatically and ultimately had to go away to have the child and put it up for adoption. I have at least two friends who are scarred for life because of an accidental pregnancy. I also have a nephew who is scarred for life because he had a mother that didn't want him.
