Florida Judge Grants Teenager Appeal to Have Abortion Without Parental Consent
(Worthy News) – A Florida judge has granted a 17-year-old Tampa teenager her appeal to seek an abortion without parental consent.
The high school junior “lives with her father, who does not believe in abortion except in cases of rape. She believes that both of her parents would urge her to keep the baby if they found out that she wanted an abortion,” a court filing states.
Knowing her parents would likely not approve of her getting an abortion, the teenager — identified only as “Jane Doe” — applied for an exemption that would allow her to get information about medical abortion pills, according to WTVT-TV. Florida law mandates those under 18 years old have parental consent before discussing abortion pills with a medical doctor or taking them. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
