What are rights of a pregnant teen in Minnesota?

Answer 1

You have the right to make your own choices, but obviously if you live with your own parents, your options are limited.

If you are being coerced into making a decision about abortion or adoption, please make a call to this hotline and they can help you find a pregnancy home to live in and to learn parenting resources or help you place your child for adoption (if that's what you want).

If you are considering adoption, you can call a local adoption agency to talk about it.

See related links for options related to abortion and adoption.
