In-person informed consent

Section 3218.1 requires certain information to be given in person before an abortion but allows the treating physician to provide additional information.

Raidoo v. Moylan · filed 2023-08-01(b)

In other words, Guam’s statute sets a minimum disclosure requirement for informed consent, not a maximum. It does not prevent the treating doctor from providing the same information or more information; it merely requires that patients receive certain information in person before receiving an abortion.
