Specifies that an abortion inducing drug may not be dispensed, prescribed, administered, or otherwise given to a pregnant woman after nine weeks of postfertilization age unless the Food and Drug Administration has approved the drug to be used later than nine weeks. Requires a physician to examine a pregnant woman in person before prescribing or dispensing an abortion inducing drug. Requires that the written certification required of a pregnant woman before undergoing an abortion be on a form developed by the state department. Requires the state department to develop an informed consent brochure and post the brochure on the state department's web site. Requires the abortion provider to distribute the brochure to a patient in color and with specified information included on the back cover. Requires the abortion provider to be the one to perform pre-abortion fetal ultrasound imaging and auscultation of the fetal heart tone.
