The bill amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding abortion, specifically focusing on medical consultation, judgment, and informed consent. It removes the requirement for a private medical consultation with the physician performing the abortion or the referring physician, except in medical emergencies where time is limited. Additionally, it clarifies that a physician's best clinical judgment in determining the necessity of an abortion can consider various factors related to the woman's well-being, while explicitly stating that abortions sought solely based on the sex of the unborn child are not deemed necessary.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the informed consent process by eliminating specific requirements for the physician to provide detailed information about the abortion procedure, risks, and alternatives at least 24 hours prior to the procedure. It also removes the stipulation that the pregnant woman must certify in writing that she received the required information before the abortion. The changes aim to streamline the informed consent process while maintaining the emphasis on voluntary and informed consent for the woman undergoing the procedure. The act is set to take effect in 60 days.
