HB 919 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to abortion

HB 919 requires a 72-hour waiting period before an abortion, mandating specific in-person counseling for the patient. The bill requires healthcare providers to give detailed, written materials covering medical risks, fetal development (with images showing anatomical stages), abortion methods, and alternatives like pregnancy support centers. It also requires women to view an active ultrasound showing the fetus and hear its heartbeat (if audible) at least 72 hours prior, with providers offering a list of local ultrasound services. This applies directly to women seeking abortions and the healthcare facilities performing them in the state. The bill focuses on informational requirements rather than restricting access based on gestational age.
