CQ's Carey Addresses Abortion Bill That Would Criminalize Assisting Minors To Skirt State Parental Notification Laws

Mary Agnes Carey, associate editor of CQ HealthBeat, discusses an abortion-related bill (S 403), passed last week by the Senate, that would allow federal charges to be filed against individuals who violate parental consent and notification laws in this week's "Health on the Hill from kaisernetwork.org and CQ." Carey says that Democrats objected to begin immediately a House-Senate conference that would reconcile the Senate-approved version of the bill and a similar House-approved bill (HR 748) (Carey, "Health on the Hill from kaisernetwork.org and CQ," 7/24).

The complete audio version of "Health on the Hill," transcript and resources for further research are available online.
