    ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area. Also what is your age?

    Are there Laws about Teenagers Having Abortions?
    Young women under the age of 16 may seek abortion information without parental consent. A young woman under the age of 16 may also have an abortion without parental consent if her doctors determine that she meets the Fraser Guidelines:

    She understands the medical professional's advice.
    She can not be persuaded to inform her parents.
    She is competent to give consent to the treatment.
    It is in her best interest not to inform her parents.

    "The guidance was outlined by Lord Fraser in 1985 in the House of Lords' ruling in the case of Victoria Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech Health Authority and Department of Health and Social Security."
