Abortion Bill

[Reba]

If some of you missed reading this paragraph in Cheri's original post, you will notice the proposed law does make some exceptions:

...The measure provides certain exceptions to a mandatory waiting period and punishments, such as when the abortion would save the life of the mother. Also excepted are any physician presented with documentation showing that a court in the minor's home state waived any parental notification requirements. In addition the bill makes an exception for minors who have signed a written statement saying that she is a victim of sexual abuse by a parent and can back it up with documentation of having reported that abuse to a state authority....

As you can see, a minor can go to a judge to waive (excuse) the parental requirement, so that would solve many of the "what if" situations that have been raised.
