I've supplied proof to the fact that your post #27 included one lie, and another poster pointed out the second lie. I've also provided an explanation of the exceptions to the Texas Parental Notification Act.

Here's some more:

To briefly summarize, Texas Family Code § 33.002 prohibits a physician from performing an abortion on a pregnant minor unless

he or she gives at least 48 hours actual notice to a parent, a court-appointed managing conservator or legal guardian or
the minor has obtained a court order to waive the notification pursuant to Texas Family Code § 33.003 or § 33.004.

The requirement of 48 hours notice may also be waived by an affidavit of the parent or guardian. Tex. Fam. Code § 33.002(c). In addition, the notice requirement is waived if an immediate abortion is necessary to avert death or a serious risk of substantial and irreparable harm to a major bodily function. Id. § 33.002(a)(3).
A minor who does not wish to have a parent or legal guardian notified that she intends to have an abortion must seek a judicial bypass hearing to determine:

if she is mature and sufficiently well informed to make the decision to have an abortion performed without notice to a parent or legal guardian,

if notification would not be in her best interest, or

if notification may lead to physical, sexual or emotional abuse.

Tex. Fam. Code § 33.003(i).
If any one of the above is found by the court, the court must enter an order authorizing the minor to consent to an abortion without the notification of a parent or legal guardian.
