Answer 1

For more than 30 years — since the U.S. Supreme Court declared unconstitutional state laws prohibiting abortion — abortion opponents have debated, protested and worked to reverse the legal status of abortion. During this time, the Supreme Court has granted states latitude to enact a variety of laws including parental involvement for minors and uniform counseling before an abortion.
In 1973, two U.S. Supreme Court decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, radically changed the legal landscape of American abortion law by striking down all then-existing state laws prohibiting abortion. The combined effect of the rulings required abortion to be:
legal for any woman, regardless of her age;
legal for any reason through the first six months of pregnancy, and for virtually any reason thereafter.
Reversal of the Roe and Doe court rulings would return the issue of abortion to state jurisdictions but would not automatically make abortion illegal in all states. In this event, the status of legal abortion would vary from state to state, depending on pre- and post-1973 laws and court rulings. For instance, 15 states have not repealed pre-Roe abortion bans, which would presumably be activated by the overturning of Roe and Doe. However, court rulings in 17 states (including seven of those with pre-Roe laws prohibiting abortion) declare that their state constitutions permit abortion, above and beyond the federal Constitution.
This potential patchwork of laws in a post-Roe and Doe era prompts many in the cause for life to seek an amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibiting abortion.
Since 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued 30 abortion-related rulings, including several that have upheld the constitutionality of state laws that regulate and limit abortion in the following ways:
Parental Involvement Laws requiring a parent to be notified or give consent before their minor daughter has an abortion, subject to a judicial bypass option which allows a teenage girl to involve a judge rather than her parent(s); 44 states have passed such laws with 35 of those laws in effect.
Informed Consent Laws requiring that women receive full medical disclosure of possible risks associated with and alternatives to abortion; 31 states have passed these laws with most in effect.
Waiting or Reflection Period Laws requiring that after receiving such information, women wait a period of time (usually 24 to 48 hours) before having an abortion; 28 states have passed these laws.
State legislatures are also considering and enacting laws in the following areas of abortion (and related) law:
Abortion and Breast Cancer legislation to inform women that abortion increases their risk of breast cancer.
Abortion Clinic Regulations legislation to raise the level of safety and sanitation in clinics where abortions are performed.
Fetal Homicide laws in 30 states recognize two victims (mother and preborn child) when a criminal act is committed against a pregnancy woman (excluding abortion).

Answer 2

A pregnancy can be terminated only with the informed consent of the pregnant woman; no other person’s consent needs to be obtained.

In the case of a pregnant minor, a medical practitioner or a registered midwife, who has completed the prescribed training course, may advise the minor to consult her parents, guardian, family members or friends before terminating the pregnancy. However, if the minor decides not to consult them, she should still be allowed to go ahead with her decision to terminate her pregnancy.

Also, in the case of a pregnant woman, less than eighteen years old, and in the case of a pregnant woman, more than eighteen years old but of unsound mind, the consent of her guardian must be obtained in writing.

Except for the above case, no pregnancy can be terminated except with the consent of the pregnant woman.

Answer 3

states make the laws regarding it. It depends on which state. In mine, you need parental consent under the age of 18, it must happen in the first trimester, and you don't need partners consent. You also have to wait 24 chours after downloading about 20 pages of information on procedure, adoption, parenting, biology, etc...that is called 'informed consent'.

Answer 4

Every state has different laws on abortion. you would have to look up the laws for your state.

Answer 5

it varies by state and country.

Answer 6

Have the baby... If, after the birth, you still don't want the baby, put him/her up for adoption... Please don't kill your child...
