Abstract
A study is reported which examines reasons 141 minors chose not to notify parents of a planned abortion. Results showed that while 37% of the minors informed their mothers, and 26% their fathers, 71% informed their best girl friends. Concern for parents' feelings and a fear of negative consequences (such as physical punishment or retaliation) were the reasons most frequently given for not informing parents. Implications for legislation requiring parental notification are discussed. (KIE abstract)
