does anyone know where I can fine state-specific laws about these issues?

You should be able to Google "[State] Law Code" and then search within it. Alternatively, the American Medical Association may have some information in their "Ethics" section under "Professional Resources".

Euthanasia is illegal in all 50 states. Physician assisted suicide is legal only under Oregon legislation. You can find the full bill online if you google Death with Dignity Act

Abortion is legal in all states, but some of them require parental consent (one parent) if minors are involved. MA is one such state. CT and NY aren't. So a girl can travel across state border and get an abortion without her parents knowing.

Don't forget that South Dakota recently changed their abortion (actually, technically ITOP, or "intentional termination of pregnancy") laws. They have very strict laws on when it's allowed - e.g. when the mother's life is in danger.
