Informed Consent: 24-Hour Waiting Period
A patient considering an abortion must be offered, on paper or online, all of the following information at least 24-hours prior to an abortion:
- A medically accurate depiction, illustration or photograph of a fetus at the probable gestational age.
- A written description of the abortion procedure.
- A prenatal care and parenting information pamphlet.
- Information about what to do and whom to contact in the event of medical complications.
- Information about pregnancy-related services.
- A facility may not collect any type of payment during this waiting period. Any advance payments must be refunded to the woman if she doesn’t go through with the abortion.
ultrasound viewing law
If an ultrasound was performed on the patient prior to the abortion, the medical professional performing the ultrasound must ask the patient if she would like to view the live ultrasound image of her baby, and if she would like to take a printed copy of the image with her.
Coerced Abortions Law
It’s against Michigan law to coerce a woman into having an abortion. The facility staff are required to ask women if they are being forced or pressured to have an abortion against their will. If a woman is being coerced, staff must give them a referral to law enforcement or a domestic violence support agency.
Parental Consent Law
Minors must obtain consent of a parent or a judicial bypass prior to obtaining an abortion.
abortion clinic regulations and complaints
BEWARE: Michigan laws requiring abortion clinics to be licensed or inspected were repealed. There is no longer a requirement for the humane disposal of fetal remains. No abortion statistics or complications need to be reported. If someone is forced to abort against her will, was physically harmed in a clinic, or treated in an unclean facility, she or someone on her behalf can file a complaint.
safe delivery law
Under Michigan law, newborns under 72 hours old can be confidentially surrendered to police stations, fire stations, hospitals or by calling 911.
