Informed consent mandates for abortion providers may infringe the First Amendment's freedom of speech. On the other hand, they may reinforce the physician's duty to obtain informed consent. Courts can promote both doctrines by ensuring that compelled physician speech pertains to medical facts about abortion rather than abortion ideology and that compelled speech is truthful and not misleading.
对堕胎提供者的知情同意要求可能侵犯第一修正案所保障的言论自由。另一方面,它们可能强化医生获取知情同意的义务。法院可以通过确保强迫医生发表的言论涉及堕胎的医学事实而非堕胎观念,并且强迫发表的言论真实且不具误导性,来推动这两种原则。
