Synopsis
This Act requires minors under the age of 16 obtain parental consent before undergoing an abortion, except in cases of medical emergency or if the Family Court adjudicates that the minor is mature and well-informed enough to make the decision independently, or obtaining parental consent is not in the best interest of the minor, such as in cases of abuse, neglect, or coercion.
