  • The North Carolina Woman's Right to Know Act ( 854 / S.L. 2011-405) is a passed North Carolina statute which is referred to as an "informed consent" law. The bill requires practitioners read a state-mandated informational materials, often referred to as counseling scripts, to patients at least 72 hours before the abortion procedure (the law originally required a 24-hour waiting period between counseling and their procedure). The patient and physician must certify that the information on informed consent has been provided before the procedure. The law also mandated the creation of a state-maintained website and printed informational materials, containing information about: public and private services available during pregnancy, anatomical and physiological characteristics of gestational development, and possible adverse effects of abortion and pregnancy. A review of twenty-three U.S. states informed consent materials found that North Carolina had the "highest level of inaccuracies," with 36 out of 78 statements rated as inaccurate, or 46%. The law was passed and went into effect in October 2011. It was originally vetoed by Governor Bev Perdue but the veto was overridden by the General Assembly and became law on July 28, 2011. The stated intent for the bill was to create a "more stringent abortion law" and it has been faced with extensive criticism. Similar legislation, based on legislative models created and regularly updated by pro-life advocacy organizations, has been introduced and passed in at least eighteen other states, including: Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. The bill originally contained a provision for real-time viewing of ultrasound images at least four hours before the abortion procedure. North Carolina was the third state to require that providers describe ultrasound images to patients and ensure the image was in their line of sight. This section of the bill was blocked by a federal court in 2014. The state of North Carolina appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court in the 2015 case Stuart v. Camnitz, but the Supreme Court declined to hear the case making this portion of the law unenforcible. (en)
