Did you know that West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa will coach a MINOR on how to get an abortion WITHOUT the consent of their parent(s) or guardian? The COURTS then determine if an abortion is in the “best interest” of your daughter/granddaughter and give her permission without you ever knowing.

Judicial Bypass
Alabama law requires that if you are a minor (17 years old or younger) and have never been married, you must have written consent of one of your natural parents or a legal guardian in order to get an abortion in this state, even if you do not live with them. If you cannot or do not want to get consent from a parent or guardian, you can go to court and ask for a judge to approve the abortion.
During the parental consent waiver process, you have the right to file a petition in your county of residence or in the county where the abortion will be performed. Judicial waivers cannot be obtained for patients out of state. You have the right to a speedy process and a lawyer will be provided at no cost to you. You should expect answers to your questions and help filling out your forms. Above all, you should expect complete confidentiality from the court.
The court shall grant your petition for waiver of the parental consent requirement if it determines that you are mature and well informed enough to intelligently decide to have an abortion without the consent of a parent or guardian and that it is in your best interest to have an abortion.
While it is often easier to go to court in your home county, sometimes juvenile judges in large counties with a family court will be more familiar with the process. You may also have personal reasons for wanting to go outside your county for judicial consent. Call the courthouse and find out where to go to file a petition to waive parental consent for an abortion. Your local courthouse should be able to give you the phone number of courthouses in other counties. We recommend you receive your pre-abortion counseling at the clinic prior to filing a judicial waiver. This counseling session will prepare you to answer questions the judge may ask you as well as begin the mandatory waiting period process. Always contact West Alabama Women’s Center immediately after finding out your results.
