Jane's Due Process

Organization Description: 

Jane’s Due Process provides legal representation to pregnant teens, especially those seeking legal exceptions to parental notification/consent prior to terminating their pregnancies. Texas law recognizes that parental notification may not be in the best interest of every pregnant minor, and provides a judicial bypass exception in certain cases including incest, neglect, sexual abuse, sexual assault, and other special circumstances. Jane’s Due Process identifies those minors who, because of their unique circumstances, are likely to prevail on the merits in bypass procedures. Jane’s Due Process refers these cases to a network of attorneys who provide representation without cost to the minors.
