Background
In June 2003, the New Hampshire General Court narrowly passed HB 763-FN, "AN ACT requiring parental notification before abortions may be performed on unemancipated minors", by votes of 12-11 in the Senate and 187-181 in the House. On June 19, 2003, Governor Benson, who lobbied heavily for the law, signed the New Hampshire Parental Notification Prior to Abortion Act. The Parental Notification Act had an effective date of December 31, 2003. The New Hampshire General Court is the state legislature of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. ...
District Court On November 17, 2003, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, Concord Feminist Health Center of Portsmouth, Feminist Health Center of Portsmouth, and Wayne Goldner, M.D. filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, seeking a declaratory judgment that the Parental Notification Act was unconstitutional and a preliminary injunction to prevent its enforcement once it became effective. On December 29, 2003, Justice Joseph A. DiClerico, Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire issued an order finding the Parental Notification Act unconstitutional and permanently enjoining its enforcement. The reasons DiClerico found the Act unconstitutional were: PPFA Homepage Planned Parenthood is the name of several federations of health clinics that are spread out over the world,(the International Planned Parenthood Federation, various regional federations, as well as country-specific ones) focusing on issues related to reproductive services. ...

- its lack of an explicit exception to protect the health of the pregnant minor, and
- the narrowness of the Act's exception for abortions necessary to prevent the minor's death
Finding the Parental Notification Act unconstitutional on those two points, DiClerico declined to rule on the constitutionality of the Act's failure to provide specific protections for the confidentiality of a minor seeking a judicial waiver alledged by the Planned Parenthood of New England, et. all.
First Circuit New Hampshire Attorney General Peter Heed, acting in his official capacity, appealed the district court's order to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Heed argued that the court should should apply the "no set of circumstances" standard set forth in United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739 (1987). The court affirmed the judgement by Justice DiClerico for the same reasons he stated.

Supreme Court Appeal Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, who replaced Heed as AG in 2004, appealled the case to the Supreme Court of the United States over the objections of Governor John Lynch (D). Lynch later signed an amicus brief in opposition to the Parental Notification Act. On May 23, 2005, the Supreme Court granted certiorari to review the case, which is the first case challenging an abortion law that the Court has accepted in five years.

Petitioner's Questions for Review 1. Whether the First Circuit Court of Appeals erred in holding that New Hampshire’s Parental Notification statute was facially invalid because it did not contain a health exception and because the death exception was drawn too narrowly?
2. Whether the First Circuit Court of Appeals erred in holding that a facial challenge to New Hampshire’s parental notification statute should not be governed by the "no set of circumstances" standard articulated in United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739 (1987)?
Respondants's Questions for Review 1. Was the First Circuit Court of Appeals correct in holding that a law that requires minors to delay their abortions must contain a medical emergency exception for circumstances when the delay will undisputedly put minors' health in serious jeopardy?
2. Was the First Circuit Court of Appeals correct to strike New Hampshire's Parental Notification Prior to Abortion Act in its entirety where such relief is the only way to effectively remedy the constitutional violation without invading the province of the Legislature?
