nytimes.com - PHOENIX — Once again, Arizona finds itself on the frontier of anti-abortion legislation: Late Monday, it became the first state to pass a law requiring doctors who perform drug-induced abortions to tell women that the procedure may be reversible, an assertion that most doctors say is wrong.
The provision is part of a broader law signed by Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, meant to prevent plans offered in Arizona through the federal health care exchange from providing coverage for most abortions.
Opponents of abortion see the provision — in which doctors must explain to women having early-stage pill-induced abortions “that it may be possible to reverse the effects of a medical abortion” — as opening up a new avenue in anti-abortion legislation nationwide.
