SB 147 states that it "does not include the prescription of an abortion-inducing drug to a patient". (Page 5, Section 6, lines 11-12).

True Message: SB 147 will expand healthcare access, at lower cost, for common minor ailments, such as sore throat, flu, cough, urinary tract infection, and other minor ailments. The bill will benefit people with diabetes who need help managing blood sugars.

Confusion Due to Misinformation

False Message: A large pro-life organization is circulating a flyer, and stating on social media, that SB 147 will make chemical abortions widely available.
This is not true.
