What kind of laws do you have in your regarding abortion an adoption an custody?

Question

Because in NY

Before women can have an abortion or give the baby up for adoption she must get the father signature an prove who the father is.

And with the custody issue-----In the state of NY the court are startign to give the father custody of the child more then the mother

Answer 1

Not a clue, but I think that is a good idea that the father knows about it after all it is his responsibility too!

Answer 2

The woman does not have to have anyone to sign for them to have an abortion in this state. Unless they are underage though then a parent has to sign.
Adoption does require the father's signature but most people does not reveal the father's name.
Oh yea abortion is legal and every woman has the right to choose. Abortion is not murder because if it were they could not perform abortions. A fetus is not a baby until it is born.

Answer 3

Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992) [Transcript of Oral Argument] the Court (5-4) upheld a 24-hour waiting period, an informed consent requirement, a parental consent provision for minors and a recordkeeping requirement, ((((while striking down the spousal notice requirement of a Pennsylvania statute))))) <---- this is the important line
Invoking stare decisis, the political need for judicial credibility and a consistent Constitutional vision, the Court's middle wing (O'Connor, Kennedy and Souter), while retaining the "central holding" of Roe v. Wade, overturned its trimester framework and its "strict scrutiny" standard of review, in favor of a new "undue burden" standard, proposed by Justice O'Connor, and a floating viability line where the state's interest in fetal life becomes "compelling." Blackmun and Stevens both dissented in part, favoring upholding more of Roe. Chief Justice Rehnquist, with Justices White, Scalia and Thomas, dissented, arguing that Roe had no Constitutional basis and ought to be overturned and that the "rational basis" standard should be applied to uphold the statute. The dissenter's reasoned that if Roe was wrongly decided, there is no way to justify upholding it. Scalia also authored a dissenting opinion in which Rehnquist, White, and Thomas joined. Crucial to the survival of Roe in this case was O'Connor and Kennedy's decision to retreat from their prior holdings that the state's interest in protecting non-viable fetal life was "compelling." O'Connor's "undue burden" standard is a pragmatic compromise, allowing limited (and politically popular) state regulation of abortion, yet effectively preserving the general access to abortion that was the goal of Roe.

This decision has replaced Roe v. Wade as the dominant


As far as adoption ( I kow form my own facts and experience from jersey to NY I had to get the babies father to sign over his parental rights in order for the adoption to be legal)


and while I have no right exploting my friends, they also have had abortions and they did not need to sign anything, but that they knew what they were doing..... no husband or boyfriend acknowledgement and yes that is in Flushing/Queens NYC
the only thing I could find for "right to know" was the patients right to know what will happen to them if you could can you show me where that is stated ??
I love reading up on state laws

Answer 4

a woman in my state needs no ones permission but her own for a first or early second trimester abortion.
