The House Committee on Health and Human Services advanced two Bills pertaining to abortion services. House Bill 2313 defines “born alive” fetuses as any fetus with a heartbeat, muscle movement or pulsation of the umbilical cord; and requires health care providers present at an attempted abortion to give it care regardless of the circumstance it was delivered.
House Bill 2439 requires medical providers to inform people undergoing drug-induced abortions they can still change their minds. The tactic is widely opposed by groups like Planned Parenthood and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, who call abortion reversal ‘unscientific’ and potentially dangerous.
