Measure 10. submitted by in itiative petition, is one of two abortion rights measures on the liallot The other Measure H — would prevent all abortions except in the case of reported rape or incest, or when birth would endanger the mother's life. If passed. Measure 10 would require doctors to notify one parent of the minor's choice at least two days before the abor tion This notification can lie waived if the minor is a victim of reported abuse at home or if the pregnancy was caused by a reported rape. Under current Oregon law. the doctor in abuse or rape cases is required to report the situation to state authorities. Failure to properly comply with the notification qualifica tions can result in the suspen sion of the doctor's license or a lawsuit from the minor's par ents. Although similar laws are on the books in a number of states, including West Virginia and Utah, this measure does not in clude the option of a judicial bypass for the notification re quirement In states with a ju dicial bypass, the minor can petition the court instead of no tifying her parents. Opponents of the measure believe the judicial bypass is important, particularly in cases involving abusive homes. Pro ponents of the measure feel the notification waiver clause will adequately protect minors from further abuse without the judi cial bypass “If you have a situa tion with a dysfunction al family, this measure doesn't give teens an al ternative in judicial by pass." said Kelli llar bert. public affairs coor dinator of Lane Coun ty's Planned Parenthood Association. "In tin- practical ap plication, there really aren't any exceptions to the notification. The doctor has to tell the Children's Services l)i vision, and the CSI) then contacts the par ents." she said "Many teens fear tee ing thrown out of the house, or even violence rrom tnetr parents r.ven - though notification seems like a good idea, it can have devas tating results on teenagers." "We realize that not all homes are ideal." said Gayle VOTE '90 Measure 10 Question: Shall state law require doc tor to give notii e to parent or i ustiuli an at least two days before minor's abortion?
