The state agency is responding to a petition from two attorneys to clear up ambiguity about when emergency abortions are allowed.
said it will develop formal guidance for physicians about how to interpret the medical exception to the state's abortion laws.
Physicians are told to use their “reasonable medical judgment” when assessing if an emergency abortion is needed. But they risk 99 years of prison time, hefty fines and the loss of their medical license if they provide an abortion that is found to be illegal. The attorneys had submitted proposed language for a rule, including a list of medical conditions that would qualify a woman for an emergency abortion, such as cancer and preeclampsia. Additionally, their proposal specified that death would not need to be imminent for a situation to be considered life-threatening. In the letter, Freshour said, however, that the TMB would consider alternate draft language from what the Bresnens proposed.
