Anonymity in court proceedings
Official statutory text
In every civil or criminal proceeding or action brought under
this act, the court shall rule whether the anonymity of any female
upon whom an abortion has been performed or attempted shall be
preserved from public disclosure if she does not give her consent to
such disclosure. The court, upon motion or sua sponte, shall make
such a ruling and, upon determining that her anonymity should be
preserved, shall issue orders to the parties, witnesses, and counsel
and shall direct the sealing of the record and exclusion of
individuals from courtrooms or hearing rooms to the extent necessary
to safeguard her identity from public disclosure. Each such order
shall be accompanied by specific written findings explaining why the
anonymity of the female should be preserved from public disclosure,
why the order is essential to that end, how the order is narrowly
tailored to serve that interest, and why no reasonable less-
restrictive alternative exists. In the absence of written consent
of the female upon whom an abortion has been performed or attempted,
anyone, other than a public official, who brings an action under
Section 8 of this act shall do so under a pseudonym. This section
may not be construed to conceal the identity of the plaintiff or of
witnesses from the defendant.
