Requiring the Kansas department of health and environment to provide forms and notices to physicians pursuant to the woman's-right-to know act.
What changed between versions
The list of information physicians must provide in the consent form was expanded to include the physician's clinical privileges at nearby hospitals, the date those privileges were issued, any hospitals where the physician lost privileges, and whether the physician is a Kansas resident.
New mandatory disclosures were added regarding the unborn child's physical structures for experiencing pain by 20 weeks and the legal obligation of the father to support the child, even if he paid for the abortion (with a rape exception).
New language was added defining the unborn child as a 'whole, separate, unique, living human being' and stating that the woman may withdraw consent at any time before the procedure begins.
The requirement for a private meeting between the physician and the patient was added to ensure the patient has an adequate opportunity to ask questions before the procedure.
