Consent
If you are under 15 years old
- You have the right to get an abortion, but the abortion provider may tell you that you need permission from your parent or legal guardian. This is called parental consent.
- If you cannot or do not want to involve a parent, there is no judicial bypass option in Oregon. But the abortion provider can decide not to involve your parent or guardian if:
- it could put you at risk of physical or emotional abuse or neglect; or
- it would not be in your best interest.
If you still have questions about the laws in Oregon, we can help. Call 844-868-2812 or contact us through our secure online form to speak with a lawyer.
You also have the right to travel to a state that does not have parental involvement laws.
