We do not know the percentage of judicial bypasses that the trial courts are denying. But the fiscal note's economic assumption comports with our percentage thus far. Of the two cases in which we have rendered a final decision, we granted an application in this case and denied another in In re Jane Doe, 19 S.W.3d 337 (Tex. 2000) (" Doe 4(II)"). For example, Representative Wohlgemuth, the author of the House companion to Senate Bill 30, described the judicial bypass as " an extremely low bar to begin with" and represented that "obtaining a bypass is not going to be a problem."

Because that person in a judicial bypass proceeding is the pregnant minor, she bears the burden of proof. See In re Petition of Anonymous 1, 558 N.W.2d 784, 787 (1997) (holding pregnant minor has burden to prove entitlement to judicial bypass in absence of legislative pronouncement to contrary); see also In re Anonymous, 833 So.2d 75, 78 (Ala.Civ.App. 2002) (acknowledging minor bears burden of proof in judicial bypass proceeding); In re Doe 4, 19 S.W.3d 337, 339 (Tex. 2000) (same). For a history of Arizona's attempts to enact constitutionally permissible provisions, see Planned Parenthood v. LaWall, 307 F.3d 783, 785-86 (9th Cir. 2002).
