Only People It Really Affects Are the People It Hurts”: The Human Rights Impacts of Parental Notice of Abortion in Illinois”</span></a> – looking at the myriad harms of the law for youth in our state. A researcher for Human Rights Watch interviewed 37 people
– including health care providers, pro bono attorneys, Judicial Bypass Coordination Project hotline volunteers, and youth advocates – about how the law effects the young people who are forced to navigate an unfamiliar court system or involve an unsupportive
family member in their abortion decision. The report also examines information collected by ACLU’s Judicial Bypass Coordination Project about young people who have gone through the judicial bypass process. </span></p>
