What kinds of questions will I have to answer?

The judge may want to know that you understand the abortion procedure, that you have thought carefully about your decision, and that no one is forcing you to get an abortion. The judge may also want to know whether you have responsibilities at home, school, or work (such as babysitting, caring for sick relatives, part-time jobs, etc.) or plans for the future that show how mature you are.

The judge will want to know that you have considered other alternatives.  Additionally, the judge may want to know about your general health. Importantly the judge will want to know why you are seeking a bypass and not asking your family to allow you to get an abortion.
