Gov. Doug Ducey on Monday signed into law a bill that requires physicians to tell women receiving medication-induced abortions that the procedure can potentially be reversed.

Senate Bill 1318 also bars insurance companies from providing abortion services to women who purchase medical coverage through the federal health-care exchange, except in cases of rape and incest.

In a statement, Ducey said the legislation "protects Arizona taxpayers" by ensuring public funds are "not used to subsidize abortions."

"The American people overwhelmingly oppose taxpayer funding of abortions, and it's no different in Arizona, where we have long-standing policy against subsidizing them with public dollars," Ducey's statement said.

The bill signing came as lawmakers returned from a weekend break to packed agendas.
