Abstract:
State laws that require minors seeking abortion care to notify or obtain consent from a parent or other legal guardian are broadly referred to as parental involvement laws. Judicial bypass allows a minor to petition the court to bypass parental involvement. Even before the Dobbs v Jackson Women\'s Health Organization decision overturned Roe v Wade on 24 June 2022, 36 states had at least one parental involvement law, making minor access to abortion care even more complex than adult access. Since the Dobbs decision, at least 15 states have completely banned abortion, adding further complexity, geographic barriers, and inequities to the pursuit of reproductive healthcare. In this narrative review and commentary, we explain parental involvement laws and judicial bypass from both a legal and medical perspective, exploring the evolving challenges created by this system in the year post-Dobbs.
摘要:
要求寻求堕胎护理的未成年人通知父母或其他法定监护人或获得其同意的州法律被广泛称为父母参与法。司法绕过允许未成年人向法院请愿绕过父母的参与。甚至在2022年6月24日多布斯诉杰克逊妇女卫生组织的决定推翻罗伊诉韦德之前,36个州至少有一项父母参与法,使未成年人获得堕胎护理比成人获得堕胎护理更加复杂。自从多布斯的决定,至少有15个州完全禁止堕胎,增加了更多的复杂性,地理障碍,以及追求生殖保健的不平等。在这篇叙述性评论和评论中,我们从法律和医学的角度解释父母参与法和司法绕过,探索这个系统在多布斯之后的一年中不断变化的挑战。
