Most voters support parental notification requirements when minors seek abortions, according to a new poll.
The Rasmussen Reports survey found that 64% of likely U.S. voters want abortion providers to be required to notify parents before performing abortions on girls under age 18. About 25% opposed parental notification and 11% were unsure.
Issues involving minors and abortions came to the forefront with the recent case of a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio who went out of state to get an abortion because of Ohio’s limits on the procedure. In that case, the girl’s mother was aware of the rape and the abortion.
