Defeated LD 771, An Act to Protect a Woman’s Right to Withdraw Consent for an Abortion

Governor Mills and her allies in the state legislature defeated this bill before it reached her desk. If enacted, this bill would have established a pregnant person’s right to withdraw consent to an abortion at any time, thus ignoring the realities of actual abortion care practice and strong informed consent laws in the state.
