(a) No person shall perform or induce a pregnancy termination upon an unmarried pregnant woman under the age of eighteen years without first having given twenty-four hours actual notice to one of the parents or the legal guardian of the minor pregnant woman as to the intention to perform such pregnancy termination, unless the attending physician certifies in writing that the termination procedure is necessary as an emergency procedure to preserve the life of the pregnant minor, in which case the parents or guardian shall be informed as soon as practicable about the termination procedure.
(b) No person shall perform or induce a pregnancy termination upon a pregnant woman under the age of sixteen years without first obtaining the informed written consent of both the minor pregnant woman and one of her parents or her legal guardian. In cases where such consent cannot be obtained, authority to waive such consent shall first be obtained from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
