   12  minor) and give consent for (insert name of physician) to
   13  perform or induce a termination of pregnancy on her. Under
   14  penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing
   15  statement and that the facts stated in it are true.” A copy of
   16  the parent’s or legal guardian’s government-issued proof of

   23         3. A physician receiving consent from a parent or guardian
   24  under this section shall execute for inclusion in the medical

   28  rely on the information presented by both the minor and her
   29  parent or legal guardian as sufficient evidence of identity.”

   37  dated within 30 days before the termination of the pregnancy,
