In the United States, abortion has been fully legal since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision (1973). However, it is continually challenged in many districts and states, including in Pennsylvania. While you can legally obtain an abortion in Pennsylvania, there are restrictions. For a woman to receive an abortion, she must first receive state-directed counseling. During this counseling, she will be discouraged from obtaining an abortion and she will receive materials/information that attempt to discourage her. Following the counseling, she will need to wait for 24 hours before being able to undergo the procedure.<ref>[http://statelaws.findlaw.com/pennsylvania-law/pennsylvania-abortion-laws.html Pennsylvania Abortion Laws]</ref>

If you're 18 years old and want an abortion in Pennsylvania, it's required that one of your parents gives consent (i.e. "parental consent"). If you cannot manage to get parental consent, you can potentially get a "judicial bypass." This is when you ask a judge for permission instead or, if it's an emergency (for medical reasons), you can get special permission.<ref>[https://sexetc.org/states/pennsylvania Sex in the States: Pennsylvania]</ref>
