Law on abortion for minors is nixed
From Times Wire Reports
Gov. John Lynch signed legislation in Concord repealing a law requiring that a parent be notified before a minor received an abortion.
The 2003 law never took effect because of a court challenge, and the repeal was effective immediately. “I strongly believe parents should be involved in these decisions, providing important support and guidance,” Lynch said. “Unfortunately that is not possible in every case.”
