Alaska has a
parental notification law so even if you don't tell the girls parents, somebody will have to if she wants to get an abortion.
With regards to what's your play, explain to them she can't get an abortion without her parents knowing (unless she crosses the border), and that you're willing to call her parents and let them know if she would like your help, or you're willing to go with her and your son to tell her parents together. If the abortion idea is just yours and not hers, then, unless she runs away, her parents are going to find out if she keeps the child or puts it up for adoption, so the offers about helping her tell her parents should still be in play.
Edit: I believe if she's been abused by her parents she could go to court to get permission for an abortion without her parents being notified.
Quote:
The notification route
• A parent, guardian or legal custodian would be told about the abortion at least 48 hours ahead of time by the doctor who would perform the abortion or the doctor who referred the teen to the abortion provider. That could happen in person, by phone or, if the parent couldn't be reached by phone, by certified letter. In a phone call, the doctor would try to verify the parent or guardian's identity by asking questions.
•A doctor who performed a teen's abortion without a parent knowing could be charged with a felony.
Court option
• The teen would formally ask the court for an order allowing the abortion without the parent knowing.
• The teen would have to swear that: 1. She was sufficiently mature and well informed to make the decision herself; 2. a parent, guardian or custodian had physically, sexually or emotionally abused her; or 3. their consent was otherwise not in her best interest.
• A judge would have to hear the case within five business days and then rule immediately.
• If the court failed to act quickly enough, the teen could get the abortion without a court order or parent notification.
