MO HB1307

Increases mandatory waiting period before abortion from 24 hours to 72 hours, except in medical emergencies.

Requires physician or qualified professional to provide specific informed consent information in person, including abortion method details, medical risks, fetal development information with images, and alternatives to abortion.

Mandates woman view active ultrasound of unborn child and hear heartbeat (if audible) at least 72 hours before abortion, with option to obtain ultrasound elsewhere.

Requires written certification from woman confirming she received all required information and consents to abortion voluntarily and without coercion.

Includes fallback provision: if 72-hour waiting period is temporarily or permanently blocked by court order, waiting period reverts to 24 hours until injunction is lifted or dissolved.
