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.

CHARLESTON â Without any testimony from an expert, the West Virginia House of Delegatesâ Health and Human Resources Committee on Tuesday passed a bill requiring physicians provide information about stopping the process of a medicated abortion.
House Bill 2982, or the Second Chance at Life Act, as amended by the committee, requires a patient undergoing a medication-induced abortion to be informed that it may be possible to stop the effects of the procedure after taking the first of the two drugs.
The state Department of Health and Human Resources will also have to post information about stopping the procedure.
The bill is similar to other anti-abortion legislation thatâs passed in at least six states, though HB 2982 does not require physicians to advise the procedure can be âreversedâ but does say itâs possible to âavoid, cease or even stop the intended effects.â
