Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“that the minor is not mature and well enough informed to make the abortion decision, and that the performance of the abortion is not in the best interest of the minor.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"In her petition for review before this Court, the minor contends that the juvenile court failed to follow the procedure prescribed by the Parental Consent Act, Ala.Code 1975, § 26-21-4(f) and (g). These subsections provide: "`(f) The required consent shall be waived if the court finds either: "`(1) That the minor is mature and well-informed enough to make the abortion decision on her own; or "`(2) That performance of the abortion would be in the best interest of the minor. "`(g) A court that conducts proceedings under this section shall issue written and specific factual findings and legal conclusions supporting its decision and shall order that a confidential record of the evidence be maintained for at least four years.' "(Emphasis added.) Thus, under this section, the petition for waiver of parental consent may be denied only if the court specifically finds both [ (1) that] the minor is immature and not well enough informed to make the abortion decision on her own, and (2) that performance of the abortion would not be in her best interests."”
