Call the PATH Project helpline for free legal help.
The Path Project serves as an information and advocacy center for minors facing difficult pregnancy choices. We help teens under the age of 18 navigate the courts so that they can make decisions about their own reproductive health care.
Because of a Florida state law enacted in July 2005, if you're under 18 and plan to have an abortion, your doctor must tell one of your parents or a legal guardian about your decision. Your doctor must give at least 48 hours notice to one parent or guardian in person or over the telephone.

We encourage you to tell your parent or guardian of your decision to terminate the pregnancy if you can. But we also understand that you might have many reasons for not confiding in your parents. If you feel you can't confront your parents with this decision, you have the right to seek legal help. You can request permission from a court to end an unexpected pregnancy without telling one of your parents.
