Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 63

No abortion shall be performed or induced upon an unemancipated

minor or upon a female for whom a guardian or conservator has been

appointed pursuant to the Oklahoma Guardianship and Conservatorship

Act because of a finding of incompetency, until at least forty-eight

(48) hours after written notice of the pending abortion has been

delivered in the manner specified in Sections 7 through 9 of this

act to one of the parents of the minor upon whom the abortion is

contemplated or to the guardian or conservator of the female upon

whom the abortion is contemplated.

1. The notice shall be addressed to the parent at the usual

place of abode of the parent and delivered personally to the parent

by the physician or an agent.

2. In lieu of the delivery required by paragraph 1 of this

section, notice shall be made by certified mail addressed to the

parent at the usual place of abode of the parent with return receipt

requested and restricted delivery to the addressee, which means a

postal employee can deliver the mail only to the authorized

addressee. Time of delivery shall be deemed to occur at noon on the

third day on which regular mail delivery takes place, subsequent to

mailing. The information concerning the address of the parent shall

be that which a reasonable and prudent person, under similar

circumstances, would have relied upon as sufficient evidence that

the parent resides at that address.
