How Will This Play and What is Going on Here?

Get used to the idea that your kids may go and do something legal (yes, abortion is legal) without your permission. You can't force your daughter to bear a child full term so your "permission" is futile. It sucks not having 100% rights over your property, but that's how it is (in states with no parental consent requirement). If you really want your kids to have some sort of additional information about abortion which you claim is so important that they have -- so much that you support parental notification for this reason -- then sit her down now and tell her everything you want her to know about abortion. Renew the discussion every year so it's fresh. Then when and if she ever decides to go for an abortion she'll have all this knowledge already.

I like this idea best of all. Let's require that all parents have the conversation they want to have with their kids if their kids get pregnant, whether or not the kids are pregnant. Then when a minor gets pregnant, we can just assume that they have had the benefits of parental advice, and skip the notification step.
