The Comprehensive Guide to Informed Consent Regulations for Abortion
Informed consent for an abortion process encompasses both prerequisite procedures and a doctor’s information that is given to patients regarding abortion processes altogether. What constitutes one giving their informed consent, however, varies from state to state. Some states elaborately map the different phraseology doctors must use and prewrite language into the written materials provided to patients; other states absorb the informed consent process for abortion under their general medical procedure laws. In the latter cases, state legislatures may indicate that freedom to choose either to continue or terminate a pregnancy remains an individual’s decision.

To help make the process a little less unknown, Bedsider sent the author, Connor Davies on a mission to buy EC pills in three different ways and write an easy step-by-step guide based on her experiences.
