Concerned about the number of households headed by single teenage mothers and the deleterious effects of overpopulation, the state of Northwest enacted legislation requiring that any person under the age of 25 must obtain a certificate of responsibility before having children. Any fetus whose parents do not both have a certificate of responsibility must be aborted under the terms of the statutes, and any child born into the same circumstances will be placed up for adoption.
If Ben, a 22-year-old resident of Northwest, brings an action in federal court seeking to enjoin enforcement of the legislation on the grounds that it violated his constitutional rights, alleging that he plans to marry and father children before he is 25, will the case be decided on the merits?
