OBJECTIVES
To describe demographic characteristics and abortion timing of minors in Arkansas who obtained an abortion through a judicial bypass, and to contrast the frequency of judicial bypass in other states in the United States.
METHODS
We used individual-level data on all abortions to minors (n = 2624) performed in Arkansas from 2005 to 2014 and aggregated data from 10 additional states on abortions obtained through a judicial bypass. We characterized correlates of the judicial bypass and its association with the timing of abortion.
RESULTS
Minors in Arkansas who used the courts were more likely to be 17 years of age, nonresidents of Arkansas, Hispanic, and with fewer previous pregnancies than their younger, resident, non-Hispanic White, and multigravida counterparts; 7.7% of abortions to minors were obtained via a bypass in 11 states, but only 2% if Texas and Arkansas are excluded.
CONCLUSIONS
The demographics of minors who obtain an abortion through a judicial bypass differ significantly from those who have parental consent, and there is widespread variation in the proportion of bypass cases across states.
目的
描述阿肯色州通过司法豁免获得堕胎的未成年人的人口统计学特征和堕胎时间，并对比美国其他州司法豁免的频率。
方法
我们使用了2005年至2014年在阿肯色州对未成年人进行的所有堕胎的个体层面数据（n = 2624），以及另外10个州通过司法豁免获得堕胎的汇总数据。我们描述了司法豁免的相关因素及其与堕胎时间的关联。
结果
在阿肯色州，通过法院途径的未成年人比其年龄较小、为本州居民、非西班牙裔白人且有多次怀孕经历的同龄人更有可能为17岁、非阿肯色州居民、西班牙裔且既往怀孕次数较少；在11个州，7.7%的未成年人堕胎是通过豁免获得的，但如果排除得克萨斯州和阿肯色州，这一比例仅为2%。
结论
通过司法豁免获得堕胎的未成年人的人口统计学特征与获得父母同意的未成年人有显著差异，并且各州豁免案例的比例存在广泛差异。
