Arizona will now require doctors to tell women who use the so-called abortion pill that the procedure can be reversed. We asked NPR health correspondent Rob Stein whether that's true. Here's his report. (4/1)

Arizona, a battleground for anti-abortion legislation, has become the first state to pass a law requiring doctors to tell women that drug-induced abortions may be reversible. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) signed the controversial Senate Bill 1318 into law on March 30, 2015. Herrod, who has lobbied to restrict abortion rights for years, was a main proponent of the law. Advocates who support abortion rights are furious over several provisions in the bill — in particular, the provision that requires physicians performing an abortion to inform the woman “it may be possible to reverse the effects of a medical abortion.” But the method itself is still experimental, and doctors and advocates say it is not responsible to present women with the option.
