Currently, about half of the states have laws that require notification or consent of a parent (or, at least, authorization from a court) before an abortion can be performed on a minor girl. However, these requirements are often circumvented when minors travel to neighboring states that have no parental notification laws. The Child Custody Protection Act (S. 403), sponsored by pro-life Senator John Ensign (R-Nv.), would curb such interstate evasion of parental notification requirements.

The Child Custody Protection Act could reach the U.S. Senate floor during the next couple of monthsbut there are many other bills competing for Senate floor time, so it is crucial that senators hear from constituents who want prompt action on this issue.

The House of Representatives has already approved its version of legislation to protect parental rights and the welfare of minor girlsthe Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA)in April 2005. (See May 2005 NRL News, page 22.) Now the Senate must act, and soon, in order to set the stage for the final steps in the legislative process, after which the bill could be sent to President Bush for his signature.
