Section 44-41-310. This article may be cited as the `Woman's Right to Know Act'.
(1) `Medical emergency' means that condition which, on the basis of the physician's good faith judgment, so complicates a pregnancy as to necessitate an immediate abortion to avert the risk of her death or for which a delay will create serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of major bodily function.
(2) `Probable gestational age of the embryo or fetus' means what, in the judgment of the attending physician based upon the attending physician's examination and medical history given by the woman, is with reasonable probability the gestational age of the embryo or fetus at the time the abortion is planned to be performed.
Section 44-41-330. (A) Except in the case of a medical emergency and in addition to any other consent required by the laws of this State, no abortion may be performed or induced unless the following conditions have been satisfied:
(1) The woman must be informed by the physician who is to perform the abortion, by the referring physician, or by an allied health professional working in conjunction with one of the aforementioned physicians of the procedure to be involved and of the probable gestational age of the embryo or fetus at the time the abortion is to be performed.
(2) The woman must be informed, by the physician, by his agent or, should the abortion be performed in a clinic, by its agent, that she has the right to review the printed materials described in Section 44-41-340. The physician, his agent, or, should the abortion be performed in a clinic, its agent must orally inform the woman that materials have been provided by this State which describe the embryo or fetus, list agencies which offer alternatives to abortion, and describe medical assistance benefits which may be available for prenatal care, childbirth, and neonatal care. If the woman chooses to view the materials, a copy of the materials must be furnished to her.
(3) The woman must certify in writing, before the abortion, that the information described in item (1) of this subsection has been furnished her, and that she has been informed of her opportunity to review the information referred to in item (2) of this subsection.
(4) Before performing the abortion, the physician who is to perform or induce the abortion or his agent must determine that the written certification prescribed by item (3) of this subsection or the certification required by subsection (D) has been signed.
