Section 26-23E-7 Prescription of abortion-inducing drugs. Only a physician may give, sell,
dispense, administer, or otherwise prescribe an abortion-inducing drug. Because the failure
and complications from medical abortion increase with advancing gestational age, because the
physical symptoms of medical abortion can be identical to the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy,
and because abortion-inducing drugs do not treat ectopic pregnancies but rather are contraindicated
in ectopic pregnancies, the physician giving, selling, dispensing, administering, or otherwise
providing or prescribing the abortion-inducing drug must first examine the pregnant woman
in person and document, in the woman's medical chart, the gestational age and intrauterine
location of the pregnancy prior to giving, selling, dispensing, administering, or otherwise
providing or prescribing the abortion-inducing drug. (Act 2013-79, p. 165, §7.)...

Any minor child under the age of 16 seeking an abortion from an abortion or reproductive health
care facility shall be asked by the physician performing the abortion or his or her agent
to state the name and age of the individual who is believed to be the father of the unborn
child. While the minor child may refuse to provide the father's name and age, she should be
encouraged to do so by the physician or agent consistent with the physician's legal obligation
