Research on the parental notification and consent statutes showed that

B) contrary to expectations, the law probably contributed to an increase in sexual activity by teen aged females
C) contrary to expectations, the law seemed to have had as much an effect on the sexual behavior of older women as it did on the sexual behavior of adolescents
D) there was a decline in both the birthrate and the abortion rate among teenagers, but because of other factors it is difficult to attribute the decline to the law on notification and consent
