More than half of U.S. states require consent from at least one parent or legal guardian for a minor to obtain an abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. "It is my belief that parental notification does not go far enough. It does not give parents the opportunity to weigh in the decision that child is making," Grall said.
DeSantis, when asked about the measure at an event last month in Miami, called the measure a matter of"common sense". "That's due to their home situation," said Stumbar, who opposes the bill."They're concerned about physical violence, emotional violence, sexual abuse . . . about getting kicked out the house and becoming homeless."
