Ultrasounds Save Lives Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 797, also known as the "Women's Right to Know Act," aims to ensure that women seeking an abortion are fully informed about the medical risks associated with the procedure and the developmental characteristics of the unborn child before giving their consent.

The bill requires healthcare providers to provide women with information about the potential risks and complications of abortion, such as infection, hemorrhage, and infertility. 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.

Proponents of the bill argue that it is important for women to have all the necessary information before making such a significant decision. 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.
