Most states require parental
Most states require parental involvement in a minor’s decision to have an abortion. Many states require the consent or notification of only one parent (usually 24 or 48 hours before the procedure).
In the state of Colorado, you are not required to get permission from your parents, but they must be notified. The only exceptions are if it is a medical emergency or if a judge rules that you are mature enough to get an abortion without your parents knowing.
An abortion, even by pill, is a serious procedure. I strongly encourage you to speak to your parents about your concerns before seeking an abortion. Although your parents may be disappointed, they can also be very helpful and supportive.
Best of luck,
