Truth in Abortion laws are those that seek to end the deceit of abortion[1] providers and require them to pay for their future harm to the patients and the negative externalities as polluters must do.

- making women aware of their right to see an ultrasound of the unborn child before the abortion[2]
- ending hit-and-run abortions by requiring the abortionist to have local hospital privileges to handle complications[3]
- providing full recovery for harm caused by abortion
- requiring abortion clinics to be in compliance with the same safety standards of other surgical facilities
Truth in Abortion laws are in addition to the more traditional regulations of:
- waiting periods
- parental consent and/or notification
