Missouri Republican lawmakers want to expand notification requirements for minors in the state seeking abortions.
Current state law requires only one parent to give consent for a minor to get an abortion; the other parent does not have to be notified.
A bill presented Tuesday at a House hearing would require notification of both parents, with some exceptions.
Supporters say this brings the procedure in line with requirements for other medical decisions.
A second bill changes the process of consent, requiring notarized proof of the parent or guardian's identity and that they sign off on state-mandated information about abortion.
It also alters how minors obtain a court order to get an abortion independently in a way opponents say is more burdensome.
