![A quote graphic for If/When/How and Human Rights Watch's report " Whose Abortion Is It?" with a gradient purple and teal background and the cover graphic illustration in the top left corner of a young person with long brown hair standing in front of a maze. In the lower right corner is the quote attributed to an obstetrician and gynecologist who is an abortion care provider. The quote reads "“For people who have good family support, they will tell their parent.
There is no part of this [forced parental notification] process that is helpful. It does not improve patient safety. It does not improve communication. People under 18 know whether or not it’s safe for them to have a family member in support. If they have a supportive family member, they’ll have them come in. If not, hey have a good reason for that.” At the bottom is a teal rectangle with the Human Rights Watch and If/When/How logos on the left and to the right is "Whose Abortion Is It? tinyurl.com/WhoseAbortionIsIt."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:is3yyzsj6jl7q2wgjp7y5l7x/bafkreiay6nzh4w35ajbzj2aabvphuycwcfadqugbykifll7esymbhtqi5e@jpeg)
