S.F. 508 Section 1. FINDINGS AND INTENT. 1 1. The general assembly finds all of the following: 2 a. That, as stated in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern 3 Pennsylvania v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833, 846 (1992), “[t]he State 4 has legitimate interests from the outset of the pregnancy in 5 protecting the health of the woman”. 6 b. Specifically, as stated in Akron v. Akron Ctr. for 7 Reproductive Health, Inc. 462 U.S. 416, 428-429 (1983), “... 8 a State has a legitimate concern with the health of women who 9 undergo abortions...” 10 c. Abortion is an invasive, surgical procedure that can 11 cause severe physical and psychological, both short-term and 12 long-term, complications for women, including but not limited 13 to: uterine perforation, cervical perforation, infection, 14 bleeding, hemorrhage, blood clots, failure to terminate the 15 pregnancy, incomplete abortion (retained tissue), pelvic 16 inflammatory disease, endometritis, missed ectopic pregnancy, 17 cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, renal failure, metabolic 18 disorder, shock, embolism, coma, placenta previa in subsequent 19 pregnancies, preterm delivery in subsequent pregnancies, free 20 fluid in the abdomen, adverse reactions to anesthesia and 21 other drugs, an increased risk for developing breast cancer, 22 psychological or emotional complications such as depression, 23 suicidal ideation, anxiety, sleeping disorders, and death. 24 d. To facilitate reliable scientific studies and research 25 on the safety and efficacy of abortion, it is essential that 26 the medical and public health communities have access to 27 accurate information both on the abortion procedure and on 28 complications resulting from abortion. 29 e. As stated in Planned Parenthood of Central Missouri v. 30 Danforth, 428 U.S. 52, 80 (1976), “Recordkeeping and reporting 31 requirements that are reasonably directed to the preservation 32 of maternal health and that properly respect a patient’s 33 confidentiality and privacy are permissible”. 34 f. Abortion and complication reporting provisions do not 35 -1- LSB 1826XS (17) 89 pf/rh 1/ 16

S.F. 508 impose an “undue burden” on a woman’s right to choose whether 1 or not to terminate a pregnancy. Specifically, as stated in 2 Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, 3 505 U.S. 833, 900-901 (1992), “The collection of information 4 with respect to actual patients is a vital element of medical 5 research, and so it cannot be said that the requirements serve 6 no purpose other than to make abortions more difficult”. 7 g. To promote its interest in maternal health and life, the 8 state of Iowa maintains an interest in all of the following: 9 (1) Collecting certain demographic information on all 10 abortions performed in the state. 11 (2) Collecting information on all complications from all 12 abortions performed in the state. 13 (3) Compiling statistical reports based on abortion 14 complication information collected pursuant to this Act for 15 future scientific studies and public health research. 16 2. Based on the findings in subsection 1, it is the intent 17 of this Act to promote the health and safety of women by 18 increasing medical and public health knowledge through the 19 compilation of relevant information on all abortions performed 20 in the state, as well as on all medical complications and 21 maternal deaths resulting from these abortions. 22 Sec. 2.

Such use, prescription, or means is 31 not an abortion if done with the intent to save the life or 32 preserve the health of an unborn child, remove a dead unborn 33 child caused by spontaneous abortion, or remove an ectopic 34 pregnancy. 35 -2- LSB 1826XS (17) 89 pf/rh 2/ 16
