Nebraska Passes Parental Consent Law, Requires Notarized Signatures
A teen seeking an abortion must now have signed, notoraized permission from a parent.
Are you a teen who wants an abortion in Nebraska? You not only have to tell a parent, grandparent, or judge about it, now you have to tell a notary public, too.
So much for privacy.
Via the Nebraska State Paper:
Gov. Dave Heineman has signed a bill requiring minors to present written, notarized consent from a parent or guardian in order to obtain an abortion.
Minors can ask a court to waive the requirement in cases where abuse is alleged or a medical emergency can be established. A grandparent or a judge could give approval in cases of alleged abuse.
Notarized consent? Really? So it’s not enough to have parental consent, they need to spend money to get it a notary public involved, and tell a stranger about the situation?
Anti-choice legislators — limiting abortion access a nickle and a dime at a time.
