Making heartbeat audible before abortion

Official statutory text

A. Any abortion provider who knowingly performs or induces any

abortion shall comply with the requirements of the Heartbeat

Informed Consent Act.

B. Prior to a woman giving informed consent to having any part

of an abortion performed or induced, if the pregnancy is at least

eight (8) weeks after fertilization, the abortion provider who is to

perform or induce the abortion or an agent of the abortion provider

shall tell the woman that it may be possible to make the embryonic

or fetal heartbeat of the unborn child audible for the pregnant

woman to hear and ask the woman if she would like to hear the

heartbeat. If the woman would like to hear the heartbeat, the

abortion provider shall, using a Doppler fetal heart rate monitor,

make the embryonic or fetal heartbeat of the unborn child audible

for the pregnant woman to hear. An abortion provider or an agent of

the abortion provider shall not be in violation of the requirements

of this subsection if:

1. The provider or agent has attempted, consistent with

standard medical practice, to make the embryonic or fetal heartbeat

of the unborn child audible for the pregnant woman to hear using a

Doppler fetal heart rate monitor;

2. That attempt does not result in the heartbeat being made

audible; and

3. The provider has offered to attempt to make the heartbeat

audible at a subsequent date.

C. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the

pregnant woman from not listening to the sounds detected by the

Doppler fetal heart rate monitor pursuant to the requirements of

subsection B of this section.
