Those who support ending the Parental Notification Law argue that some minors cannot talk to their parents out of fear or potential abuse. However, the current Parental Notification Law includes two waivers: (1) a judicial waiver for those not wishing to inform their parents and (2) a blanket waiver for minors who attest to being physically or sexually abused. Since the Parental Notification Law went into effect, there have been no reported incidents of abuse of any minor whose parents were informed of her intention to get an abortion. Get involved right now - contact your state lawmakers Contact your lawmaker today and tell him or her to vote No to legisla- tion that would repeal Illinois Parental Notification Law.
