Child Custody Protection Act

The Child Custody Protection Act (CCPA) is a law that makes it illegal for someone to take a minor across state lines to get an abortion if doing so would bypass the parental consent or notification laws of their home state. The law aims to prevent adults from transporting minors to states with less restrictive abortion laws to obtain services without parental involvement. It emphasizes the importance of parental rights and states' legal requirements while establishing penalties for violations, ensuring parental authority is respected and minors’ safety is protected within the framework of state laws.
