Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England,546 U.S. 320 (2006),was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States involving a facial challenge to New Hampshire's parental notification abortion law.

The Supreme Court vacated this judgment and remanded the case,but avoided a substantive ruling on the challenged law or a reconsideration of prior Supreme Court abortion precedent. Instead,the Court only addressed the issue of remedy,holding that invalidating a statute in its entirety "is not always necessary or justified,for lower courts may be able to render narrower declaratory and injunctive relief."
