AI Summary

This bill amends the Code of Laws of South Carolina to require the disclosure of specific medical information to individuals who may receive a chemically-induced abortion. The bill mandates that when the abortion-inducing drug mifepristone is provided, the healthcare provider must give the patient a disclosure statement informing them that the first pill may not always be effective and that there are options available to help continue the pregnancy if the patient has second thoughts. The bill includes exceptions and does not create or recognize a right to abortion.
