Woman’s Right To Know Act

HR 7044, the "Woman’s Right To Know Act," requires abortion providers to give patients a specific 24-hour in-person informed consent form before performing an abortion. The form must detail the unborn child’s gestational age, medical risks of the procedure, and developmental milestones (like heartbeat presence), and must be signed by the patient, provider, and a witness. Providers who fail to comply face civil penalties of $100,000-$250,000 per violation or lawsuits from patients seeking damages, including triple the abortion cost. Exceptions apply if compliance poses immediate life-threatening risks to the patient. The bill directly affects abortion providers and patients seeking abortion services, mandating specific disclosure requirements and enforcement mechanisms.
