, Bypass of Parental Input into Abortion - Minor (Pre-Dobbs)
HB1011: Entitled the “Restore Roe Act”, the legislative intent is to “protect a woman’s right to obtain abortion services up to the point of fetal viability, as provided for in the United States Constitution, according to the United States Supreme Court in the 1971 decision Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, 162 (1973), with limited exceptions following fetal viability for the health or life of the mother or in case of rape or incest perpetrated on a minor.” This bill would repeal sections of the code requiring minors to obtain parental consent for an abortion, therefore negating the bypass of parental consent procedures and the associated right to counsel for minors in such matters.
