PATH Project: Providing Access for Teen Health

The ACLU of Florida has set up a new website for minors needing legal services for judicial bypass, as required by the Parental Notification law.
Their mission states: "The Path Project serves as an information and advocacy center for minors facing difficult pregnancy choices. We help teens under the age of 18 navigate the courts so that they can make decisions about their own reproductive health care."

If you are a teenager and thinking about having an abortion, we want you to know your rights.

*If you are not able to tell your parent or guardian about your decision to have an abortion, click here to find out how to ask for a court order so you don't have to tell a parent.

*You have a right to a lawyer to help you through the process. There is no charge for the lawyer. The court procedure is free and confidential.

*If you're under the age of 18 and plan to have an abortion, and want more information about this process or getting an attorney for no cost, call our toll free helpine: (877) FLA-PATH or 877-352-7284.
