Construction of Chapter.

Known as the Woman’s Right to Know Act

The act spans §§ 26-23A-1 to 26-23A-9 (13 sections).

(Act 2002-419, p. 1074, §12.)

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as creating or recognizing a right to abortion. It is not the intention of this chapter to make lawful an abortion that is currently unlawful nor to deny a woman an abortion that is lawful. Following abortion counseling, the withdrawal of consent to an abortion must be followed with appropriate referrals to ensure adequate care for a child that is to be delivered.
