Under this bill, Utah law creates a formal distinction between an "elective abortion" and a "medically indicated abortion" — which covers procedures to remove a deceased fetus, treat an ectopic pregnancy, or protect a woman's life or major bodily function. Patients who experienced a miscarriage, a fatal fetal diagnosis, a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or a medically indicated abortion can request that their health care provider add a note to their medical record clarifying that their abortion was not elective, and providers are required to make that update upon request.
