  • Title: Chapter 247 of the Laws of 1989, 9 March 1989.
    Author: United States. Wyoming.
    Journal: Annu Rev Popul Law; 1989; 16():45, 333-4. PubMed ID: 12344428.
    Abstract:
    This document contains major provisions of a 1989 law passed by Wyoming requiring parental notification before an abortion can be performed upon a minor. Written notice is to be given to at least one parent or guardian at least 48 hours before the abortion and is to be delivered by the minor, the physician, an agent, or by certified mail. In addition, the physician must secure the written consent of at least one parent or guardian and the minor (no one shall require a minor to submit to an abortion against her wishes). These notification and consent requirements can be overruled by court order, and the provisions and conditions for such an action are set forth. The notification and consent requirements are also waived in an emergency medical situation. If a person performs an abortion while knowingly violating these provisions, they shall be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $1000 and/or imprisonment of not more than a year.
