Friday, April 17, 2015, AB405 – parental notification for underage girls seeking an abortion – cleared the first house by a vote of 24-15. This was an amazing victory given that a week before the Associated Press had declared the bill dead.

Please take a moment to thank each of the members of the Assembly who supported parents and teens:

AB405 now goes to the Senate, where it will have a hearing before the HHS committee. To become law, it must pass out of committee then go before the full Senate. Once it passes there, the Governor must sign the bill. At that point, pre-teen and teen girls and their families will finally be protected.
