YCT Yea. HB 3994 relates to notice of and consent to an abortion for a minor. This bill provides much needed reforms to abortion laws regarding minors. The bill would prevent minors from obtaining direct permission from a judge to receive an abortion as opposed to their parents. YCT supports restricting the ability of an attorney to ‘forum-shop’ to find someone who will consent to ending life.
