CHARLESTON — A West Virginia House of Delegates committee approved a bill Tuesday recommending a way to stop a medical abortion to patients, though the medical community does not back the procedure.
Health and Human Resources Committee recommended House Bill 2982, the Second Chances at Life Act, for passage in a 19-5 vote. The bill’s next stop is the House Judiciary Committee.
The Second Chance at Life Act would require women seeking a medical abortion to be informed about ways to reverse or stop the abortion process when mifepristone is used.
