SB 1494
ABORTION; INFORMED CONSENT
(Sen Smith) |
This bill defines human life as beginning at conception. A physician must tell the woman that abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being, that the she has an existing relationship with that human being that enjoys protection under the U.S. Constitution and state law, and that by having an abortion the relationship and existing rights with regard to that relationship will be terminated. The so-called risks that must be disclosed as part of the informed consent are also expanded to include depression and related psychological distress, danger to subsequent pregnancies and infertility. Physicians are also required to provide the contact information of a crisis pregnancy center.
