In Planned Parenthood of Central Mo. v. Danforth, 428 U.S. 52, 49 L. Ed. 2d 788, 96 S. Ct. 2831 (1976), the Supreme Court held for the first time that a parent does not have an absolute "veto" over the decision of a minor to terminate her pregnancy: The State may not impose a blanket provision . . . requiring the consent of a parent . . . as a condition for abortion of an unmarried minor . . . . The State does not have the constitutional authority to give a third party an absolute, and possibly arbitrary, veto over the decision of the physician and his patient to terminate the patient's pregnancy, regardless of the reason for withholding consent. Danforth, 428 U.S. at 74. The Court further concluded that "any independent interest the parent may have in the termination of the minor daughter's pregnancy is no more weighty than the right of privacy of the competent minor mature enough to have become pregnant." Danforth, 428 U.S. at 75. In so holding, the Supreme Court said that it did not mean to suggest that "every minor, regardless of age or maturity, may give effective consent for termination of her pregnancy." Danforth, 428 U.S. at 75.
