Modiying Unborn Child Protection Act

HB 2352 modifies West Virginia's Unborn Child Protection Act by requiring healthcare providers to obtain voluntary, informed consent before performing abortions. The bill mandates that providers inform patients about medical risks of abortion, risks of carrying a pregnancy to term, ultrasound viewing options, fetal development stages, and mental health resources - via printed materials and the state health department's website. It includes special provisions for minors and cases of sexual assault or incest, requiring 48-hour law enforcement reports or medical treatment documentation before abortion access. The bill also restricts abortion locations to licensed hospitals and prohibits certain procedures, while emphasizing patient education as a core requirement.
