AI Summary

  • Requires health care providers administering mifepristone (the first pill in a two-drug chemical abortion process) to provide a specific disclosure statement to pregnant women informing them the pill is not always effective and options may exist to continue the pregnancy.

  • Disclosure statement must be provided through one of three methods: stapling to the misoprostol package, attaching to the written prescription, or attaching to discharge instructions if the prescription goes directly to a pharmacy.

  • Exempts spontaneous miscarriages from the disclosure requirement and specifies only the facility or setting administering mifepristone must provide the disclosure, not pharmacies or other entities.

  • Clarifies the statute does not create or recognize any right to abortion.

  • Defines key terms including "abortion pill," "chemical abortion," "health care provider," "mifepristone," "misoprostol," and "unborn child" from moment of conception through pregnancy.
