A wide-ranging bill that would repeal some of the few already weak protections for women seeking abortions under Nevada law was heard in committee Monday. SB 179<\/a>, known as the Trust Nevada Women Act, chips away at informed consent, strips back important abortion pill regulations, and dilutes language used to advise women of the serious risks of abortion.<\/p>\n

Under previous Nevada law, a woman seeking an abortion would have to give informed consent in writing, making sure consent was given \u201cfreely and without coercion.\u201d Under the new bill, doctors would no longer need to ensure that the decision isn\u2019t coerced.<\/p>\n

According to the Charlotte Lozier institute<\/a>, 30 to 60 percent of abortions are coerced in some way. In Nevada where prostitution is legal, it could become much easier to hide human trafficking, sexual violence, and statutory rape. Nevada\u2019s parental notification law is in statute but is currently \u201csuspended\u201d after a federal judge found it to be unconstitutional in 1991<\/a>. Without parental intervention, says\u00a0Nevada Right to Life<\/a>, abortion facilities become further accessories to the victimization of minors. “Best medical practices and standards should include the emotional implications of an abortion,” said Deborah Earl<\/a> of the nonprofit Power2Parent. “Women deserve all the information about an abortion.”<\/p>\n
