DESCRIPTION
This proposal imposes civil liability on any person violating Missouri's informed consent law for abortions. Currently, Section 188.028, RSMo, requires informed consent of a minor or her parent or guardian before an abortion may be performed. New language imposes civil liability on any person who knowingly violates this section by enabling a minor to obtain an abortion without the required consent.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
