Kentucky Court Decision Allows Secret Abortions in Teen Girls

A teenager from another state may get permission to travel out of state for an abortion without their parents ever knowing. That's the decision recently released by the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
In a 2-1 ruling last week that was sealed, the majority on the appeals court said they felt obligated to make the decision despite 'significant reservations" about allowing Kentucky judges to essentially keep parents from 49 other states in the dark about whether or not their teenage daughter can travel to the Bluegrass State for a secret abortion without their knowledge or consent.

The thing that I do not like is the fact that they are including 18 and 19 year olds as being teens instead of adults. If a 18 year old wants to do this then it is not any of their parents business since they are classified as being an adult. Now if the girl is 17 or younger then yes the parents should have a say and be told.

I had a whole long post that was gonna start a debate on abortions it really comes down to rights given in the charter/constitution of right to your own body. If I remember correctly in Canada if your 16 you can get an abortion. I know someone who got one, and her mother had her eldest child young. Really if it needs to be secret then do it. But if its really whats best for you, I'm sure the guardians and parents will understand.

I don't agree with that. Most teen girls don't know what's best for them, if they knew that they wouldn't be pregnant in the first place.

Teens should not be able to have secret abortions, they definitely need their parents permission. I do not agree with this one bit, because if they do get an abortion, they think it is OK to have unprotected sex and then have another abortion.

House Panel OKs Bill to Stop Secret Abortions on Teenagers

Today the House Judiciary Committee approved the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act by a vote of 20 to 13. The measure is needed to ensure abortion facilities don't violate the parental notification laws of a girl's home state.

Lawmakers support the bill, which would make it a federal crime to transport a minor across a state line in circumvention of a state law requiring parental involvement in the minor's abortion. The legislation is needed as s-xual abusers, family members and even staff at abortion centers routinely take teenage girls across state lines for secret abortions without their parents knowledge or permission. It also requires parental notice for abortions on minors who are from a state other than where the abortion will take place.

The following video shows Rep. Lamar Smith, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, giving his opening statement on the bill. Ref. Source 3
