Book excerpt: Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2008 The U.S. Supreme Court has decided that states may require parental involvement in the abortion decisions of pregnant minors as long as minors have the opportunity to petition for a &#“bypass” of parental involvement. To date, virtually all of the 34 states that mandate parental involvement have put judges in charge of the bypass process. Individual judges are thereby responsible for deciding whether or not the minor has a legitimate basis to seek an abortion absent parental participation. In this revealing and disturbing book, Helena Silverstein presents a detailed picture of how the bypass process actually functions. Silverstein led a team of researchers who surveyed more than 200 courts designated to handle bypass cases in three states. Her research shows indisputably that laws are being routinely ignored and, when enforced, interpreted by judges in widely divergent ways. In fact, she finds audacious acts of judicial discretion, in which judges structure bypass proceedings in a shameless and calculated effort to communicate their religious and political views and to persuade minors to carry their pregnancies to term. Her investigations uncover judicial mandates that minors receive pro-life counseling from evangelical Christian ministries, as well as the practice of appointing attorneys to represent the interests of unborn children at bypass hearings. Girls on the Stand convincingly demonstrates that safeguards promised by parental involvement laws do not exist in practice and that a legal process designed to help young women make informed decisions instead victimizes them. In making this case, the book casts doubt not only on the structure of parental involvement mandates but also on the naïve faith in law that sustains them. It consciously contributes to a growing body of books aimed at debunking the popular myth that, in the land of the free, there is equal justice for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State laws regulating abortion have increased markedly in the wake of recent Supreme Court decisions. We test whether one form of abortion regulation, parental involvement laws, affects how pregnancies are resolved. Specifically, we examine whether laws that require minors to notify or obtain consent from a parent before receiving an abortion affect the likelihood that a pregnancy will be terminated. We use individual data on births and abortions from three southern states, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. A distinguishing characteristic of our data is the large sample of abortions, the quality of reporting, and information on individual and county characteristics. We detect no significant effects of parental involvement laws on the probability of abortion for minors as a single treatment group, a finding contrary to several recent studies. We do find, however, that for non-black minors 16 years of age, South Carolina's parent consent statute is associated with a 10 percentage point fall in the probability of abortion, a relative decline of over 20 percent. We believe this to be an upper bound estimate given potential underreporting of induced terminations. We also find a comparatively weak relationship between distance from an abortion provider and the probability that a pregnancy is aborted. We conclude that minors include their parents in the decision to terminate a pregnancy. Other minors seek abortion in a neighboring state. Overall, the impact of parental involvement laws on the pregnancy resolution of minors is not large

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of whether a young woman should be allowed to terminate a pregnancy without her parents' knowledge has been one of the most contentious issues of the post Roe v. Wade era. Parental involvement laws reach to the core of the parent-teen relationship in the highly contested realm of adolescent sexuality. This is the first book to examine in thorough detail the decision-making experiences of teens considering abortion. Shoshanna Ehrlich evaluates the Supreme Court's efforts to reconcile the historically based understanding of teens as dependent persons in need of protection with a more contemporary understanding of them as autonomous individuals with adult-like claims to constitutional recognition. Arriving at a compromise, the Court has made clear that, like adult women, teens have a protected right of choice, but that states may impose a parental involvement requirement. However, so that parents are not vested with veto power over their daughters' decisions, young women must be allowed to seek a waiver of the requirement. Integrating a wealth of social science literature, including in-depth interviews with 26 young women from Massachusetts who obtained court authorization for an abortion, the book raises important questions about the logic of a legal approach that requires young women to involve adults when they seek to terminate a pregnancy, but that allows them to make a decision to become mothers on their own.

This book was released on 2018-06-24 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion is a legal medical procedure that has been provided to millions of American women. Since the Institute of Medicine first reviewed the health implications of national legalized abortion in 1975, there has been a plethora of related scientific research, including well-designed randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and epidemiological studies examining abortion care. This research has focused on examining the relative safety of abortion methods and the appropriateness of methods for different clinical circumstances. With this growing body of research, earlier abortion methods have been refined, discontinued, and new approaches have been developed. The Safety and Quality of Abortion Care in the United States offers a comprehensive review of the current state of the science related to the provision of safe, high-quality abortion services in the United States. This report considers 8 research questions and presents conclusions, including gaps in research.

Book excerpt: In 2016, the Supreme Court heard Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt, arguably the most consequential abortion case in decades. The ruling set an important precedent by requiring stringent attention be paid to the body of evidence needed to prove a law does not pose an undue burden on abortion access. The Court, in its decision, stressed the importance of relying on empirical evidence and research, and disregarding pseudoscience, or arguments that lacked sufficient factual support. In doing so, they allowed for a challenge to parental involvement laws. Parental involvement laws currently exist in 37 states, and require minors to either notify or obtain consent from a parent before having an abortion. If notice or consent is not feasible, a judicial bypass option must also be available, where a minor can go to court to obtain consent from a judge. These laws have been long upheld by the Supreme Court, which argues that they are necessary for three reasons: that minors lack the capacity to make the abortion decision, that they encourage familial cohesion, and that they safeguard minors from what they argue are the medical and psychological consequences of abortion. But empirical evidence, and long-standing research shows that minors have the capacity to make the abortion decision, and that the majority of them do so with a parent, without states mandating they do so. Abortion is an incredibly low-risk procedure, and study after study proves that abortion does not lead to mental health issues. The precedent set forward in Whole Women's Health brings into question the Court's long-held justifications for parental involvement laws. Should a challenge to parental involvement laws come before the Court, it would require the Court to consider the existing research and empirical evidence on what the abortion decision looks like for minors, which would effectively delegitimize their current arguments in favor of parental involvement laws. This Note examines the Court's arguments for parental involvement laws, and lays out the evidence to the contrary, proving that the Court's support for parental involvement laws is not grounded in research, empirical evidence, or reality. It will also look at anti-choice pseudoscience and the inherent harms of parental involvement laws and judicial bypass. Thus, this Note will illustrate how a post-Whole Women's challenge to these laws might succeed.
