I don't pay that much attention to parental notification requirements, but I didn't talk to my parents from ages 17 - 23 or so (lived 100 miles apart, never saw them). It would have been laughable for me to show up on their doorstep and expect them to assist me with a decision. Would the law have required me to talk to them about an abortion even though they weren't even a part of my life at that time? Or are there exceptions for emancipated teenagers?

Isn't that the whole point of being emancipated (i.e., your parents no longer have the legal right to make decisions on your behalf)?
