Utah Lawmakers Proposing Abortion Pill Claim Bill

Two Utah lawmakers are planning to introduce legislation that would require doctors to tell women they may be able to reverse drug-induced abortions.

Most doctors, however, say there is scant evidence and incomplete science to support that claim.

The Deseret News reports that Rep. Keven Stratton of Orem and Sen. Curt Bramble of Provo, both Republicans, are drafting a bill the bill and plan to introduce it during the legislative session that begins in January.

The same lawmakers sponsored a bill last year making Utah the first state in the U.S. to require women seeking abortions to undergo anesthesia after 20 weeks of gestation.

The abortion pill reversal claim is based primarily on the work of a California-based physician, but a 2016 review concluded that his study was of poor quality.
