Bill > HB735

This bill repeals certain provisions of Maryland law related to state interference with abortions and regulations on abortions. It prohibits physicians from knowingly performing, inducing, or attempting to perform or induce an abortion under certain circumstances, with some exceptions. The bill establishes requirements for performing or inducing an abortion on a pregnant woman, including informing the woman of certain medical information and providing her the opportunity to view a sonogram and hear the fetal heartbeat. The bill also creates a private civil cause of action for violations of the abortion restrictions, subject to certain conditions and limitations.
