Frlm State Senator Sue Rezin:

Protecting the rights of parents…

“As a mother of two daughters, I strongly believe it is a parent’s right to be made aware of their daughter’s health and their healthcare decisions.

If parents are left in the dark, we will not be able to provide them with the support and care during one of their most difficult times in their life.

That is why I intend to stand up for every parent in Illinois and fight against any attempt to erode the Parental Notice of Abortion Act,” said Sen. Rezin.

The Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act requires that parents of minors be notified before their child receives an abortion procedure.

Currently, the law simply stipulates that a parent be informed of the procedure. Parents are not required to provide consent.
