A bill for an act relating to abortions including informed consent, dispensing abortion-inducing drugs, and reporting abortion-inducing drug complications.
SSB 3115 requires physicians performing abortions to conduct in-person exams screening for coercion before procedures and obtain specific written patient consent about risks of abortion-inducing drugs (like mifepristone and misoprostol). It mandates doctors to inform patients about gestational risks, potential complications (such as hemorrhage or incomplete abortion), follow-up care requirements, and information on reversing chemical abortions. The bill also requires the health department to publish reversal resources online and establishes reporting standards for complications like infection or retained tissue. This bill directly affects physicians, health care providers dispensing abortion drugs, and patients seeking medication abortions in Iowa.
