Michigan: Parental Consent Law for Abortion Harms Young People – New Report Examines Law and Calls for Repeal

A Michigan law that requires a young person to obtain parental consent to have an abortion threatens the health and safety of youth in the state and violates their human rights.
In some cases, disclosing a pregnancy to a parent will result in abuse or being forced to leave home or continue the pregnancy, and judicial bypass can be subjective and cause delays.
Michigan’s forced parental consent for abortion law should be immediately repealed to ensure young people’s safety and dignity.
