Woman’s Right To Know Act

HR 6636, the "Woman’s Right To Know Act," requires abortion providers performing or attempting abortions to provide specific information to patients 24 hours before the procedure. This includes showing an ultrasound, sharing results, and obtaining a signed consent form detailing the fetus's gestational age, medical risks of the procedure, and fetal developmental characteristics (like heartbeat and organ development). The bill imposes civil penalties of $100,000-$250,000 per violation and allows patients to sue for triple damages and attorney fees if providers fail to comply, with exceptions for life-threatening medical emergencies. It directly affects abortion providers in interstate commerce and applies to all patients seeking abortions, while clarifying it does not override stricter state abortion disclosure laws.
