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 First Circuit had ruled that the law was unconstitutional and an injunction against its enforcement was proper. 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."
