Gov. Murkowski signs bill to set up Informed Consent Website
Women seeking an abortion need to certify that a doctor gave them info on procedure
The state will set up a Web site on abortion, under a bill signed this week by Gov. Frank Murkowski that tightens abortion law. Women seeking an abortion will now need to certify in writing that their doctor either gave them the information from the Web site or some other set of abortion information. A medical professional also would have to tell the woman the gestational age of the fetus at the time the abortion would occur. Senate Bill 30 establishes the new state Web site, which will include links to photographs of fetuses. It also would have information about abortion methods, risks and possible complications of abortion and childbirth, and potential physical and psychological effects of both choices. (Read:
