S 3609 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Woman’s Right To Know Act

This bill requires abortion providers to give women seeking an abortion specific, detailed information at least 24 hours before the procedure and obtain a signed consent form. The form must include the probable gestational age, medical risks of the procedure, and developmental details about the unborn child (such as heartbeat and organ development), presented in person. Providers who fail to comply face civil penalties of $100,000-$250,000 per violation, and women can sue for damages including three times the abortion cost. Exceptions apply if following the requirements would endanger the woman’s life or cause major bodily harm.
