DESCRIPTION
Currently, Section 188.028, RSMo, requires informed consent of a minor or her parent or
guardian before an abortion may be performed. This act provides for civil liability of any person
who knowingly violates this section and enables a minor to obtain an abortion without the
required consent.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
