OH Requirements
A pregnant person does not have to inform their partner of their decision to have an abortion, if they do not want to do so.
No one, not even a court or parents, can force a person to have an abortion. Pregnant teens also have the option of getting an abortion to end their pregnancy. This is a difficult decision to make, so it is important to talk immediately with an adult, such as a parent, a doctor, or nurse. Waiting to make a decision can have negative consequences, such as greater health risks and increased cost as the pregnancy continues.
Ohio law requires that one parent, custodian or guardian of a person 17 or younger must consent to a minor's abortion.
If a parent will not consent to an abortion, the minor can seek a judicial bypass. A minor must go to juvenile court and convince a judge that they are mature enough or that there is another compelling reason to make their own decision without involving a parent.
No one, not even a court or parents, can force a person to have an abortion.
If you are under the age of 18 and need help talking with your parents/caregivers or seeking judicial bypass we can help.
