FWIW, I agree with this. The younger the kid, the more likely I'm supportive of parental notification. My clients regularly treat 12 and 13 year old moms to be. Some of them are not old enough to understand that they're pregnant, much less make decisions about the pregnancy.
FWIW, this is the fact sheet on abortion for minors from Planned Parenthood in Houston. I think it's pretty good. It's also useful that PP offers prenatal care if the kid decides to go through with the pregnancy.
