Indiana Parental Consent & Abortion Law

Summary:

The Indiana Parental Consent Abortion Law requires minors seeking an abortion to obtain consent from a parent or legal guardian before the procedure can be performed. The law is intended to involve parents in a minor’s decision regarding abortion, although minors may request a judicial bypass that allows a judge to approve the procedure without parental consent under certain circumstances. Healthcare providers who fail to comply with the law’s requirements may face legal penalties.
