The Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that a parental notification initiative can stay on the 2010 ballot, despite a poorly written petition and confusion among signatories.

The Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that a parental notification initiative can stay on the 2010 ballot, despite the fact that petition was written so poorly that many of the signers didn’t entirely know what they were putting their name on.

From the Washington Post:

The Alaska Supreme Court has ruled an initiative requiring parental notification for minors seeking an abortion will be on the August primary ballot.

Alaska’s highest court ruled Wednesday any petition deficiencies weren’t enough to make initiative sponsors begin the process anew.
