    Minors under the age of 15 can consent to an abortion without parental/guardian consent only in the following circumstances:

In this circumstance, the health care provider is required to seek the agreement of another health care​​ provider in a separate medical practice or facility. (ORS 109.640(2)(b), as amended by Oregon Laws 2023, Chapter 228, Section 8).
