SB 2145 would remove certain exceptions to state law requiring a pregnant person receive a verbal explanation of the results of the sonogram images prior to the performance of an abortion.
Current state law allows a pregnant person to choose not to receive the verbal explanation of the results of the sonogram images if:
The bill would remove the exceptions for an unreported sexual assault or incest, a minor obtaining an abortion in accordance with judicial bypass procedures, and when a fetus has an irreversible medical condition or abnormality.
Informed Consent
Current state law requires physicians to inform pregnant people seeking an abortion certain information in order to obtain informed consent. Included in that information is that public and private agencies provide pregnancy prevention counseling and medical referrals for obtaining pregnancy prevention medications or devices, including emergency contraception for victims of rape or incest. The bill would remove the language regarding emergency contraception for victims of rape or incest.
