where are you from?In the UK, you dont have to have permission from a parent, but you do need to have the approval of 2 doctors.

Answer 3

It depends where you live - some states require notifying parents, some require parental consent, some don't require anything.

The rules about abortion are different depending on where you live. In some states, you can get an abortion without telling your parents. In others, there are Parental Consent or Parental Notification laws.

Parental Consent means that you will need to get permission from a parent if you are under a certain age, usually 18.

Parental Notification means that you will have to tell a parent if you are under a certain age, usually 18, but you don't need their permission.

This website has a chart on what states in the US require what:http://www.positive.org/Resources/consen...

Answer 9

Yes unfortunatly age matters in this one.  There is the option of adoption which will not require the mother or father to be's parental consent. The expectant parents just have to sign their rights to the child away. Also going through an adoption agency helps because the expecting parents can choose a family for the baby to go to. Also in most cases the doctor fees are paid by the adoptive parents.
