The bill would require that before obtaining an abortion 20 or more weeks into a pregnancy, doctors must inform the mothers that the unborn baby will likely experience pain and the doctor must provide the mother with a pamphlet giving her more information on research on fetal pain. The bill would also require that doctors give mothers the option of providing their unborn babies with anesthetic prior to the abortion.
