SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (IRN) The Parental Notice of Abortion Act in Illinois faces another challenge.
The ACLU and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would eliminate the 2013 law. It requires a doctor providing care to a young person under the age of 18 seeking an abortion to notify a designated parent, legal guardian or grandparent at least 48 hours beforehand.
If there is a reason that the minor is not able to have one of these family members notified, she can go to court for a “judicial bypass” and ask a judge for permission to have the procedure without forced family involvement.
Brigid Leahy, senior director of Planned Parenthood Illinois Action, said there are circumstances when a minor does not want or can’t get a parent or guardian involved.
