Doctors must tell women drug-induced abortion is reversible
Legislative Summary: SB1318: Prohibits any health care exchange operating in Arizona from providing coverage for abortions, except in cases of rape & incest. Requires a physician to inform the woman of the possible reversal of a medication
abortion.Analysis by The Guardian (6/4/15): Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, [and others] are challenging SB1318, which requires doctors to tell women having a drug-induced abortion that the procedure is reversible, advice regarded by most
medical experts as wrong and misleading. The lawsuit argues that compelling doctors to provide this information against their best medical judgement, with "extreme consequences" for non-compliance, is a violation of their first amendment rights.
Legislative Outcome: Passed House 33-24-3 on Mar/23/15; Passed Senate 18-11-1 on Mar/25/15; State Rep. Olson co-sponsored and voted YES; Signed by Gov. Ducey on Mar/30/15. A federal district court overturned SB1316 on July 23, 2016.
