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
