AI Summary
This bill amends the Reproductive Health Act to require a mandatory 72-hour waiting period for abortion procedures. Specifically, the bill mandates that before performing an abortion, the healthcare professional must first have a comprehensive consultation with the patient at least 72 hours prior to the procedure. During this consultation, the healthcare provider must discuss medical indicators, contraindicators, and risk factors specific to the patient's individual medical history and current medical condition. This waiting period is designed to ensure that patients have sufficient time to carefully consider their decision and receive detailed medical counseling about the potential risks and implications of the abortion procedure. The bill aims to enhance patient information and informed consent in reproductive healthcare decisions.
