AUGUSTA — The Legislature’s Judiciary Committee will take up three bills that would add new restrictions on abortion in Maine.

One of the bills up for review today, LD 116, would require a 24-hour waiting period prior to an abortion, except in the case of a medical emergency.

An “informed consent” bill, LD 924, would require that information about the risks of abortion be made available by a doctor to a woman seeking an abortion at least 24 hours before the procedure. Also, state health officials would have to develop a brochure describing the risks and alternatives to abortion.

A third bill, LD 1457, seeks to repeal Maine’s current adult consent law. It would require notarized written consent of a parent or legal guardian before an abortion may be performed on a minor, with some exceptions.
