State Bill Would Require Both Parents Be Notified Before a Minor Can Have an Abortion
An abortion bill introduced by a state representative in Missouri Friday would require both parents to be notified before a doctor is permitted to perform an abortion on a child.
H.B. 1192, introduced by Rep. Rocky Miller (R), “requires both custodial parents or the guardian of a minor to be notified prior to the performance of an abortion on their minor child.”
Current law only requires the consent of one parent or a judge for minors 17 years or younger. An existing statute also mandates that a parent or guardian accompany the minor on the day they receive the abortion.
