An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in abortion, further providing for medical consultation and judgment and for informed consent.
HB 2005 would amend Pennsylvania's abortion-related statutes to require specific medical consultations and informed consent procedures before an abortion can be performed. The bill would mandate that healthcare providers discuss certain medical details and ensure patients understand the procedure and potential risks. This applies directly to licensed physicians and clinics providing abortion services in Pennsylvania. The bill is currently pending in the Judiciary Committee after recent committee actions, but has not yet been voted on by the full legislature.
