Bill Summary
A Second Chance For LIFE
AI Summary
This bill, titled "A Second Chance For LIFE," aims to provide women seeking drug-induced abortions with information about the possibility of reversing the process. The key provisions of the bill include:
1. Requiring any physician who prescribes, dispenses, or provides a drug or chemical for the purpose of inducing an abortion to immediately furnish the patient with written information from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) about the possibility of reversing a drug-induced abortion.
2. Mandating that the DHHS publish and make available on its website materials informing women about the possibility of reversing a drug-induced abortion, including a statement that it may be possible to discontinue the process by not taking the second drug and to reverse the process through the administration of progesterone.
3. Requiring the DHHS to publish the reversal information on the homepage of the state's "Woman's Right to Know Act" website and make the printed materials available to any physician upon request.
The bill also contains a severability clause, ensuring that if any provision is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions can still be enforced.
