No report made under §§ 34-23A-34 to 34-23A-45, inclusive, may include the name of any female having an abortion. The Department of Health shall take care to ensure that none of the information included in any report required by §§ 34-23A-34 to 34-23A-45, inclusive, including printed records, computerized records, or stored information of any type, can reasonably lead to the identification of any person obtaining an abortion. Except in the case of a mother who was younger than the age of sixteen at the time her child was conceived, any information collected by or under the direction of a physician or psychotherapist for the purpose of completing a report required by §§ 34-23A-34 to 34-23A-45, inclusive, is privileged as a confidential communication under subdivision 19-19-503(b). In the case of a mother who was younger than the age of sixteen at the time the child was conceived, the privilege of confidentiality set forth in subdivision 19-19-503(b) may not be claimed in any judicial proceeding involving § 22-22-1.
