New abortion rules for minors clear Ohio Senate
COLUMBUS (AP) – The Ohio Senate has approved a bill that contains new requirements before a minor can be
allowed to have an abortion without her parents agreeing to it.
Under the bill, a judge considering whether to let a girl bypass the state’s parental consent requirement
would have to ask if she understands the physical and emotional impacts of having an abortion. The judge
also must ask the girl if she was coached on how to answer such questions.
The Senate passed the measure Tuesday on a 23-8 vote. The House has passed the bill, but must OK the
Senate’s changes before the measure goes to the governor.
Supporters say the legislation is needed to rein in judges who frequently give approval; opponents
contend it’s about trying to score political points.
