RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — An anti-abortion group is trying to find out whether health officials met what it says is a legal obligation to inform authorities about procedures on two 14-year-old girls.

The Family Foundation of Virginia says its concern was prompted by the state health department’s December 2012 inspection of the Roanoke Medical Center for Women.

Parental consent also was not obtained for a 16-year-old girl’s abortion, according to a copy of the inspection report obtained by The Associated Press.
