informed consent
(redirected from Women's right to know)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Financial, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
informed consent, in medicine, a patient's written consent to a surgical or medical procedure or other course of treatment, given after the physician has told the patient all of the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives involved. Informed consent is also required for participation in clinical studies. The concept of informed consent is based on the principle that a physician has a duty to disclose to a patient information that allows the patient to make a reasonable decision regarding his or her own treatment. There is debate over whether special populations, such as children and the mentally ill, can really be considered to have given informed consent.

You can't oppose parental involvement laws, the Hyde Amendment, and women's right to know laws, on the one hand, and be in favor of integrating abortion into a national health care program and passing the radically pro-abortion "Freedom of Choice Act," on the other hand, and not know that millions of more babies will die.
On May 21, 2006, the Minnesota state legislature concluded its session by passing a modification of its Women's Right to Know Act, a mandatory counseling law designed to discourage women from seeking abortion services.
