Tennessee State Issue

Should doctors be forced to tell women that #drug induced #abortions may be reversed?

Abortion is the termination of pregnancy through medical methods. Yet, moral questions have divided Americans on this medical procedure and whether or not it is ethically sound to terminate an embryo's growth.

A law has been drafted in states like Tennessee that will obligate doctors to inform their patients that the abortion process can be reversed or halted within a specific timeframe after first taking medication. Furthermore, the bill adds that failure to inform the abortion patient of this stipulation will be punishable by law. 

Those against the bill claim no scientific basis for claiming that an abortion reversal is possible. They say that the people should not be fed medical misinformation, making it a foundation of legislation enforced to the law's full extent. 

The pro-reversal bill is intended as a chance for the person undergoing an abortion to make a conscious, educated, and informed decision. Terminating an embryo is a delicate process that can affect a mother's physical and mental health. Medical findings suggest that abortion reversals through hormonal drugs can nullify these effects. 

The question for debate is, should doctors be obligated to inform women that drug-induced abortions may be reversed or not?
