This proposal would require physicians who perform abortions to inform women of the link between abortion and breast cancer. At least twenty-four hours before the procedure, a physician must inform a woman considering an abortion about the increased risk of breast cancer associated with the proposed abortion. Physicians may provide additional information on this subject as warranted.
