Bill Summary
For legislation to further regulate the performing of abortions and protect women’s reproductive health. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to further regulate the performing of abortions and protect women's reproductive health. It amends the existing law by requiring the written consent of the proper person to be delivered to the physician performing an abortion, except in emergency situations. Additionally, the bill repeals several sections of Chapter 272 of the General Laws, which previously restricted access to contraception and abortion-related services. Finally, it removes the word "married" from Section 21A of Chapter 272, thereby expanding access to these services for all women.
