Research your option: In the state of Ohio, if you are less than 18 yrs of age then the requirement is that at least one of your parents be notified and also give consent for termination of pregnancy. You can get a "judicial bypass" is some circumstances. Get in touch with your local Planned Parenthood. They will be able to help. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-info/abortion/parental-consent-notification-laws
