Then you take the child away from the parent. "Parental notification" for anything (not just abortion) assumes that we're talking about competent parents. If not, find the child some competent parents.

Prop 73 includes a "judicial bypass" will enable that individual to obtain the abortion without parental notification. During this process, the court can review the dangerous factors facing a young girl. If she has been the victim of sexual abuse, whether it is rape, incest or statutory rape, the judge will be able to address the situation.

As the previous law now stands, a minor child possibly as young as 12 years old, may be taken to an abortion clinic by a friend, a teacher, a boyfriend or other interested party, without even the knowledge or consent of her parents. Some of those people might be abusers as well...
