Section 26-21-1 Legislative purpose and findings. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in
enacting this parental consent provision to further the important and compelling state interests
of: (1) protecting minors against their own immaturity, (2) fostering the family structure
and preserving it as a viable social unit, and (3) protecting the rights of parents to rear
children who are members of their household. (b) The Legislature finds as fact that: (1) immature
minors often lack the ability to make fully informed choices that take account of both immediate
and long-range consequences, (2) the medical, emotional, and psychological consequences of
abortion are serious and can be lasting, particularly when the patient is immature, (3) the
capacity to become pregnant and the capacity for mature judgment concerning the wisdom of
an abortion are not necessarily related, (4) parents ordinarily possess information essential
to a physician's exercise of his or her best medical judgment...

26-23A-2
Section 26-23A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama
finds that: (1) It is essential to the psychological and physical well-being of a woman considering
an abortion that she receive complete and accurate information on her alternatives. (2) Most
abortions are performed in clinics devoted solely to providing abortions and family planning
services. Most women who seek abortions at these facilities do not have any relationship with
the physician who performs the abortion, before or after the procedure. Most women do not
return to the facility for post-surgical care. In most instances, the woman's only actual
contact with the physician occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little
opportunity to receive counseling concerning her decision. (3) The decision to abort is an
important, and often a stressful one, and it is desirable and imperative that it be made with
full knowledge of its nature and consequences. The medical, emotional,...
