On the day on which the abortion is scheduled, no physician may take a consent for an abortion nor may the physician perform an abortion, unless the provisions of §§ 34-23A-53 to 34-23A-62 , inclusive, have been met, and the physician first obtains from the pregnant mother, a written, signed statement setting forth all information required by subsection 34-23A-56(3)(b). The written statement signed by the pregnant mother shall be maintained as a permanent part of the pregnant mother's medical records. Only the physician who meets with and consults with the pregnant mother pursuant to § 34-23A-56 can take her consent and perform her abortion unless serious unforeseen circumstances prevent that physician from taking the consent and performing the abortion.
