Except in the case of a medical emergency, or except as provided in §§ 4A103, 4A104, or 4A107, if a pregnant female is less than eighteen (18) years of age and not emancipated, or if she has been adjudged an incompetent person pursuant to judicial proceeding and determination, no person shall perform an abortion upon her unless, in the case of a female who is less than eighteen (18) years of age, he or she first obtains the written consent of both the pregnant female and one (1) of her parents or a legal guardian; or, in the case of a female who is an incompetent person, he or she first obtains the written consent of her guardian. In deciding whether to grant such consent, a pregnant female’s parent or guardian shall be advised of the risks involved in the abortion procedure, the risks of post-partum syndrome, and alternative to the abortion, and shall consider only the child’s or ward’s best interests.
