The Times of Northwest Indiana reported.
House Bill 1577, which has passed the Public Health Committee 9-3 and will now be debated on the House floor, will require doctors to tell patients the effects of taking a first abortion pill can be reversed by not taking the second and instead receiving a prompt progesterone injection.
The requirement will be added to 22 other informed consent requirements placed on doctors, following the passing of House Bill 1577.
The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville), also mandates additional regulatory and paperwork burdens, including reducing the permitted time limit for access to the pill from nine to eight weeks post-fertilization.
