9. Are there any other legal requirements for an abortion?
In Georgia, the following restrictions on abortion were in effect as of December 2005:

• The parent of a minor must be notified before an abortion is provided.
• A woman must receive state-directed counseling that includes information designed to discourage her from having an abortion and then wait 24 hours before the procedure is provided.
