Dave Heineman on Abortion

Republican NE Governor

Signs informed consent Legislation

LB 594 and LB 1103 represent important legislation for Nebraska. LB 594 updates Nebraska's informed consent law to help ensure any patient seeking an abortion is doing so voluntarily. It adds provisions to state statute to ensure physicians and medical providers take into account potential risk factors, as well as any potential for physical or mental complications. The bill also outlines a civil process that will be available to any woman who feels she was not properly informed of those risks. Source: 2011 Nebraska Gubernatorial press release TK , Apr 13, 2010
