Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to require publicly-funded medical schools to teach the most current evidence-based, life-saving methods including abortion pill reverse.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that all publicly-funded medical schools in West Virginia must teach specific life-saving medical procedures, including "abortion pill reversal," which is a process involving high-dose progesterone given within 72 hours of taking mifepristone (a medication used in abortion) to potentially reverse its effects, though not guaranteed. The bill also requires instruction on the treatment of ectopic pregnancies (pregnancies outside the uterus) and miscarriages, as well as perinatal hospice care for expectant parents of children with life-limiting conditions, emphasizing the importance of informed consent and the belief that the preborn child is human from fertilization. Publicly-funded medical schools are defined as any institution receiving local, state, or federal funding, and non-compliance with these educational requirements could lead to the loss of state funding.
