HB 821 -- Unborn Child Pain Prevention Act

Sponsor:  Onder

This bill establishes the Unborn Child Pain Prevention Act which
requires treating physicians to inform a woman seeking an
abortion after 20 weeks gestation that she has the right to
review specified information about the capacity of an unborn
child to experience pain during an abortion.  The treating
physician must also offer the woman the option of administering
an anesthetic or analgesic to the unborn child.  Medical
emergencies are exempt from these requirements.
