There are many misconceptions surrounding the anti-choice "Child Custody Protection Act" (CCPA), which would prohibit anyone other than a parent, including a grandparent, aunt, adult sibling, or religious counselor, from accompanying a young woman across state lines for an abortion if the home state’s parental-involvement law has not been met.  Here are the facts: 

• CCPA is a dangerous anti-choice measure that threatens young women's health and isolates young women from supportive and protective family members.  
• Trusted, caring, and responsible adults would be faced with the threat of prosecution if they responded to a request for help from a young woman who believes she cannot involve her parent. 
• CCPA applies to all young women who live in states with parental-involvement laws and seek out-of-state abortion care - for any reason.
