In California, a teenager under 18 can get an abortion without parental consent. She can't use a tanning solon, however, or get other medical treatment. It makes no sense.
California's Proposition 4 would require parental consent in most cases but provides exceptions in a medical emergency, in cases of abuse or where the girl fears how here parents may react to her pregnancy. A doctor can inform an adult family member or the girl can obtain court approval for the abortion.
Television advertising against Proposition 4 suggests a teenager with abusive parents would be in a fix, a misrepresentation of the facts.
