Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 19 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES › Division 10 - Office of the Director › Chapter 15 - Abortions › Section 19 CSR 10-15.010 - Abortion Report

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment modifies the title of this
				  rule, the incorporated ITOP Report, and language within, to align with the new
				  abortion requirement following enactment of section
				  188.017, RSMo, subsequent to Roe
				  v. Wade being overturned. The Abortion Report will now require the physician's
				  certification that a medical emergency of the pregnant woman existed,
				  necessitating the abortion.
(1) The abortion report will include the
				following items: name of abortion facility or hospital; the city, town, or
				location of the abortion facility or hospital; county where the abortion
				facility or hospital is located; patient identification number; age of patient;
				marital status of patient; date of abortion; residence of patient (state,
				county, city or town, inside city limits (yes or no), and zip code); patient's
				race; patient's ethnicity; patient's education; previous pregnancy history;
				number of live births now living; number of live births now dead; number of
				spontaneous terminations and number of induced terminations; procedure used to
				complete abortion; type of termination procedure used (check only one (1));
				date last normal menses began; clinical estimate of gestation; method of
				estimating gestational age; biparietal diameter measurement (if gestation age
				greater than or equal to eighteen (18) weeks by date of last normal menses or
				clinical estimate); name and signature of attending physician; physician's
				Missouri license number; name of person completing report; fetus viable (yes or
				no); certifications of the physician who performed or induced the abortion:
				physician certification they have no knowledge that the woman sought the
				abortion solely because of a prenatal diagnosis, test, or screening indicating
				Down Syndrome or of the potential of Down Syndrome in the unborn child (yes or
				no); physician certification they have no knowledge that the woman sought the
				abortion solely because of the sex or race of the unborn child (yes or no);
				physician certification that the abortion was due to a "medical emergency," a
				condition which, based on reasonable medical judgment, so complicates the
				medical condition of the pregnant woman as to necessitate the immediate
				abortion of her pregnancy to avert the death of the pregnant woman or for which
				a delay will create serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical
				impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman (yes or no);
1) Has the patient ever served on active duty
				in the Armed Forces of the United States and separated from such service under
				conditions other than dishonorable (yes or no); and
2) If the patient has answered question (1)
				in the affirmative, would the patient like to receive information and
				assistance regarding the agency's veteran services (yes or no). The information
				shall be reported on the Abortion Report, which is incorporated by reference in
				this rule as published October 2022 and may be obtained at
www.health.mo.gov
or by calling (573)
				751-6387. Within 45 days from the date of abortion, submit this form to:
				Department of Health and Senior Services, Attention: Bureau of Vital Records,
				PO Box 570, Jefferson City, MO 65102. This rule does not incorporate any
				subsequent amendments or additions.
