Defeated LD 1197, An Act to Prevent Coerced Abortion

Governor Mills and her allies in the state legislature defeated this bill before it reached her desk. If enacted, this act would have amended the informed consent to abortion laws by requiring that the health care professional performing an abortion provide orally and in writing a host of information, including an offer to call law enforcement on the patient’s behalf, as well as to provide a refund if consent for a procedure is withdrawn.
