Bill Summary
Amend Article 1, Chapter 41, Title 44 Of The 1976 Code, Relating To Abortions, By Adding Section 44-41-90 To Require The Disclosure Of Medical Information To Persons Who May Receive A Chemically Induced Abortion, With Exceptions.
AI Summary
This bill amends the South Carolina Code to add a new section (Section 44-41-90) that requires healthcare providers to provide a disclosure statement to pregnant women when administering the abortion pill, mifepristone. The disclosure statement informs the women that the first pill (mifepristone) may not always be effective in ending a pregnancy, and that there are options available to potentially continue the pregnancy if the woman changes her decision after taking the first pill. The bill specifies how the disclosure statement must be provided, and it clarifies that the section does not create or recognize a right to abortion or apply to cases of spontaneous miscarriage.
