Maybe:

Are there Laws about Teenagers Having Abortions?
Young women under the age of 16 may seek abortion information without parental consent. A young woman under the age of 16 may also have an abortion without parental consent if her doctors determine that she meets the Fraser Guidelines:

She understands the medical professional's advice.
She can not be persuaded to inform her parents.
She is competent to give consent to the treatment.
It is in her best interest not to inform her parents.
