AR SB519

Clarifies that physicians must ask pregnant women if they know the sex of the unborn child before performing an abortion.

Requires physicians to inform pregnant women of the prohibition against sex-selection abortion if the woman knows the fetus's sex.

Mandates physicians request the pregnant woman's complete medical records relating to her pregnancy history to determine if she has previously aborted a child after learning its sex.

Requires physicians to spend at least 14 days attempting to obtain the medical records before performing an abortion.

Exempts abortions from this requirement if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, and preserves the law's applicability to pregnancies after viability if earlier applications are invalidated.
