Provides that notice must be given to a pregnant woman in writing at least 18 hours before an abortion concerning the availability of adoptions and that certain adoption-related expenses may be borne by the adoptive parents, concerning physical risks to the woman in having an abortion, and stating that an embryo formed by the fertilization of a human ovum by a human sperm immediately begins to divide and grow as human physical life. Requires a physician who performs an abortion to: (1) have admitting privileges at a hospital in the county or in a county adjacent to the county where the abortion is performed; and (2) notify the patient of the hospital location where the patient can receive follow-up care by the physician. |
