To require an abortion provider to ask the patient if her husband, parents, siblings, relatives, employer, the father or putative father, his parents or any other individual in a position of authority over the patient has threatened, intimidated, or coerced her into seeking an abortion. If this has happened the abortion would have to be postponed for 24 hours and the woman informed that the attempted coercion is grounds for a lawsuit.
