Bill adding abortion restrictions passes WV House, heads to Senate

By Erin Beck The West Virginia House of Delegates unanimously passed on Tuesday a bill that would place new restrictions on adolescent abortion in West Virginia. West Virginia law currently requires a doctor to give parents at least 24 hours notice before another doctor can perform an abortion on an adolescent, but it includes two exceptions - minors may obtain a waiver from a physician or from a judge. Lawmakers had originally introduced a bill, House Bill 2002, that would no longer allow a physician to waive the parental notification requirement before an adolescent abortion.
