The measure would also make it illegal for people to help women get information on how to get an abortion if that information will likely lead to a woman getting the procedure or a drug. It also outlaws the manufacture and sale of abortion drugs. The penalty for both violations is a felony with a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. There are no punishments mentioned for a woman seeking the abortion.
