How many teens have abortions without parents consent?
Family Planning strongly encourages teens who are considering abortion to talk with their parents or a trusted adult. Support from folks who love and care for you helps in so many ways, regardless if you are a teen or older. Since Family Planning has never performed abortions, the answer to this question is not known. If a woman is thinking about an abortion, information abut parenting, adoption and foster care is also given so the woman can make an informed choice. Information given about abortion is comprehensive and medically accurate. It includes information about the procedure itself, the location of the abortion provider and cost.
