   (b)   Except in a medical emergency that prevents compliance with this division, no physician shall perform or induce or attempt to perform or induce an abortion on a pregnant woman after the beginning of the twentieth week of gestation without first entering the determination made in division (a) of this section and the associated findings of the medical examination and tests in the medical record of the pregnant woman.
