HB 21 would have placed additional burdens on doctors and women, including: Requiring physicians to give medically inaccurate information to patients seeking abortion services. Requiring women to make an additional and medically unnecessary visit to a clinic 24 hours in advance of an abortion procedure to receive information previously allowed to be given over the phone or by video.
