Jeff Berkowitz: Where do you stand [on parental notice of abortions of minor females]?
State Senator Susan Garrett [D-Lake Forest]: I support the parents being able to find out.
Jeff Berkowitz: Being able to? In other words, you support the parental notice law?
Sen. Susan Garrett: Under certain circumstances.
Jeff Berkowitz: Which are?
Sen. Susan Garrett: Well, I think the Lisa Madigan approach--
Jeff Berkowitz: The judicial bypass?
Sen. Susan Garrett: is a little bit different from the laws that we talked about before in other states. We may have no choice in this matter whatsoever. Whatsoever.
Jeff Berkowitz: Well, you have choice. You can always pass another law [different from the one passed in 1995, which will go into affect in Illinois- as a result of the judicial bypass guidelines issued last year by the Illinois Supreme Court-when the courts set up appropriate procedures for minor females to follow if they are attempting to trigger the judicial bypass provisions, referenced at the end of this post].

Jeff Berkowitz: Are you saying you’d like the notification provisions to be broader?
State Senator Susan Garrett: Yes.
Jeff Berkowitz: So that, in addition to notifying parents, grandparents
Sen. Susan Garrett: Right
Jeff Berkowitz: or the legal guardian, maybe an aunt or uncle
Sen. Susan Garrett: Yeah, I think there--
Jeff Berkowitz: Maybe a pastor,
Sen. Susan Garrett: We have to, excuse me--
Jeff Berkowitz: Maybe a guy down the street, maybe a bum—
Sen. Susan Garrett: No, not a bum—but, I think, in all fairness to the young girl--
Jeff Berkowitz: But, seriously, where do you limit it?
Sen. Susan Garrett: Who is in need of an abortion for whatever reason, we can’t just isolate the parents and say these are the ones who have to sort of—
Jeff Berkowitz: Or the grandparents or legal guardian—
Sen. Susan Garrett: And that, all of that, is part of it. And, if that is part of it, yes, I would support that. But, not just the parents, we have to have an extension—
Jeff Berkowitz: [A physician must give notice of a minor female's abortion to] the parents, grandparents or legal guardian, with a judicial bypass provision, then you are on board for parental notice?
Sen. Susan Garrett: Yes.
Jeff Berkowitz: That’s easy. Freeze. Freeze on electric rates…

[Ed. Note: The Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995, discussed above, requires that a physician tell a parent, grandparent or legal guardian at least two days before someone younger than 18 gets an abortion. The law provides judicial bypass exceptions in certain cases, such as when a parent has sexually or physically abused a minor. In such cases, a judge may waive the notice requirements. The law also allows a judge to waive notice if the minor is sufficiently mature or if notification is not in the minor's best interests. See here]
