A Florida appeals court ruled a 16-year-old with no parents could not have an abortion as she is not mature enough to decide whether to terminate her pregnancy.
Florida law, the judges’ opinion notes, “allows for a remand to the trial court with instructions for a further ruling, but no such remand is warranted here.” On that point, Makar disagreed.
However, he also said that “given the open-ended nature of the order reflecting the trial judge’s willingness to hear from the minor again — and the time pressures presented — I would remand the case to the trial court.”The minor is almost 17 years old and parentless. She lives with a relative but has an appointed guardian. She is pursuing a GED with involvement in a program designed to assist young women who have experienced trauma in their lives by providing educational support and counseling.
