Additionally, women must be informed about the major developmental characteristics of the unborn child, including the presence of a heartbeat, brain activity, and the ability to feel pain.

They believe that providing this information will help women make a more informed choice and potentially reduce the number of abortions. Opponents of the bill argue that it is unnecessary and could potentially shame or guilt women seeking abortions. They also argue that the information provided may not be scientifically accurate or unbiased. Overall, Bill 119 HR 797 seeks to ensure that women have access to important information about abortion before making a decision, with the goal of promoting informed consent and potentially reducing the number of abortions.
