The Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act aims to prevent minors from being transported across state lines to circumvent parental involvement.
The Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act amends the federal criminal code to prohibit transporting minors across state lines to obtain an abortion without parental involvement, as required by the laws of the minor's home state. It also mandates that physicians provide at least 24 hours of notice to a parent before performing an abortion on a minor from another state. Exceptions are made if the abortion is necessary to save the minor's life or if the physician has documentation that the minor's home state court has waived parental notification.
