Putting Parents First Act

Summary

Putting Parents First Act - Prohibits any person from knowingly performing an abortion upon or prescribing an abortifacient to a pregnant woman under age 18 unless the attending physician has secured: (1) the informed written consent of the minor; and (2) the informed written consent of the minor's parent or guardian; or (3) a court order waiving the need for the parent's or guardian's consent pursuant to a judicial bypass procedure.
