Hartigan v. Zbaraz, 484 U.S. 171, (U.S. 1987).[6]
Zbaraz v. Hartigan, USCA, 7th Cir. Nos-08-1620 and 08-1782(7th Cir. 2009).[7]
Judge Tinder on July 14, 2009, wrote the opinion in Zbaraz v. Hartigan which removed an injunction against the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995. [8] The 1995 law required parental notification for abortions in Illinois. After the law was passed, it was never enforced due to an injunction filed that prevented enforcement[8].
Under the law, parents must be notified 48 hours before a girl age seventeen or younger obtains an abortion in Illinois. However, the 1995 law does not require parental consent for abortions. The law also contains a provision for a girl to bypass the parental notification requirement by notifying a judge. [9]
After the law was passed in 1995, a group of Illinois doctors demanded to Attorney General Jim Ryan to not enforce the law over complaints over the judicial bypass provision in the law. Both sides agreed to a court order which placed an injunction on enforcement of the law. It was not until 2006, when the Illinois Supreme Court allowed for enforcement of the law, but the State of Illinois was required to file a lawsuit in federal court to lift the injunction. [9]
A lawsuit was filed in March of 2007, when Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan petitioned federal judge David Coar to lift the injunction on the law. [9] Judge Coar denied Attorney General Madigan's petition to lift the injunction. After Judge Coar denied the petition, the Thomas More Society and the Illinois Catholic Conference filed an appeal to the Seventh Circuit.
The three judge panel wrote in favor of the judicial bypass provision stating: "that the law is constitutional on its face under the relevant criteria for consent statutes, and therefore, it satisfies any criteria that are required for bypass provisions in notice statutes.” [9]
Fellow Seventh Circuit judges Richard Cudahy and Michael Kanne joined Judge Tinder on the panel. [9]
