Janes Due Process Inc: Empowering Young People in Texas to Access Reproductive Healthcare

Janes Due Process Inc is a non-profit organization that provides legal and practical support to young people in Texas who are seeking access to reproductive healthcare services. The organization was founded in 2001 by attorney Susan Hays, who recognized the need for a resource that could help minors navigate the complex laws surrounding parental involvement in reproductive healthcare decisions.

At Janes Due Process, we believe that every young person has the right to make their own choices about their body and their future. Unfortunately, many minors in Texas face significant barriers when it comes to accessing abortion and birth control services. Under state law, minors must obtain parental consent or obtain a judicial bypass before they can receive these services. This can be an intimidating and overwhelming process for many young people, especially those who come from families or communities where discussing sex or contraception is taboo.

That's where Janes Due Process comes in. Our team of attorneys, social workers, and volunteers work tirelessly to provide young people with the information and resources they need to make informed decisions about their reproductive health. We offer free legal representation for minors seeking judicial bypasses, as well as confidential counseling services through our hotline.

In addition to our direct support services, Janes Due Process also advocates for policy changes at the state level that would improve access to reproductive healthcare for all Texans. We believe that every person should have access to safe and affordable abortion care without fear of stigma or discrimination.

Our work has already made a significant impact on the lives of countless young people across Texas. Since our founding over 20 years ago, we have helped hundreds of minors obtain judicial bypasses so they could access abortion care without parental involvement. We have also provided thousands of hours of counseling support through our hotline service.

But there is still much work left to be done. In recent years, anti-choice lawmakers in Texas have passed a series of restrictive laws that have made it even harder for young people to access reproductive healthcare services. That's why Janes Due Process is more important than ever. We are committed to fighting for the rights of young people in Texas and ensuring that they have the resources and support they need to make their own choices about their bodies and their futures.

If you or someone you know is a minor in Texas who needs help accessing reproductive healthcare services, please don't hesitate to reach out to Janes Due Process. Our team is here for you, every step of the way.
