Minnesota Ultrasound Bill (HF 3194)

HF 3194 would amend current law regarding informed consent requirements prior to an abortion to include the offer of viewing an ultrasound image.

If, at any time prior to the performance of an abortion, a pregnant person undergoes an ultrasound examination, or a physician determines that ultrasound imaging will be used during the course of a patient’s abortion, the physician or the physician’s agent would be required to orally inform the patient of the opportunity to view or decline to view an active ultrasound image of the fetus.
