SB 1243 mandates that the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (through a woman’s physician) provide women with medically inaccurate information as they prepare to get abortion care. Specifically, it requires that during the state-mandated counseling period, which women must receive prior to an abortion, medical providers must tell women that a medication abortion may be reversed. This bill is based on a faulty and inconclusive study and seeks to undermine a medical procedure at the expense of a woman’s safety and medical rights.
