RSA 132:32-36, effective January 1, 2012, requires parental notification before abortions can be performed on unemancipated minors. The statute provides that a minor may petition any superior court judge for an order authorizing an abortion without notification. The statute also provides that if a court denies the petition, the minor may file, as provided by supreme court rule, an expedited confidential appeal to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The following provides the procedures for filing such an appeal:
(1) Notwithstanding anything in these rules to the contrary, the following procedures shall apply to an appeal filed pursuant to RSA 132:34 by a pregnant minor for whom the superior court denies an order authorizing an abortion without notification.
