[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry if I've missed it (but I don't  think I did...)
But how did a 17 year old get an abortion, when the law is that you have to be 18 or have a parent/guardian notified?   Does the clinic not confirm age?   Did this social worker lie and say she was the parent/guardian of the child?[/quote]

Is that the law in VA?

Such a backwards state in so many ways.

Yes, that is the law in VA.   Maryland too.   Many states have such a restriction (or even more restrictive--like complete outlawing of abortion.)
