Judicial Bypass Cases: Fayette County District and Circuit Courts

A panel of ACLU cooperating attorneys continues to represent young women seeking judicial approval to make their own decision about whether to continue or terminate their pregnancy.  State law, the earlier versions of which we successfully blocked for more than 10 years, requires young women under 18 who are seeking abortions to obtain one parent’s consent or a judge’s order.  Judges must permit an abortion for a young woman who is mature enough to make the decision herself or if the abortion is in her best interest.  Our cooperating attorney panel enjoys great success in persuading judges that the young women are sufficiently mature to make the decision themselves.
