Iowa minors abortion law sparks debate and privacy concerns
Planned Parenthood leaders say a new Iowa law requiring judicial waivers for minors to obtain abortions creates an undue burden. The measure forces disclosure of pregnancy and abortion desire to a judge, with a possible alias and court representation to seek a waiver. Pro life advocates defend parental notification as necessary and the law’s impact remains uncertain as lawmakers show little appetite to revisit it.
