Just months after Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson signed a bill requiring physicians to "investigate" women who seek abortions, state lawmakers are attempting to further limit women's reproductive rights—this time by passing a bill that requires women to get permission from men in order to undergo the procedure.

The bill, HB 1566 or the Tissue Disposal Mandate, is an extension of the Final Disposition Rights Act of 2009, the Huffington Post reports. Under that earlier law, upon the death of an individual, their family members are required to agree upon what should be done with the deceased person's body. With this new HB 1566 provision, the fetal or embryonic tissue would not be incorporated into the 2009 legislation, thus giving both the mother and the father of a fetus equal say in a deciding to terminate a pregnancy. A mother would be required to notify the man who impregnated her if she plans to have an abortion—and gives the father of the fetus grounds to object and ostensibly prevent the procedure from happening.

Further, the law could be applied to women who's pregnancy resulted from either an abusive partner or after a sexual assault. For women under 18, these decisions would be left to their parents or guardians. And for physicians who perform abortions, they could face criminal penalties if they do not contact the father of the fetus about how he would choose to dispose of the tissue, according to Bustle.

In response to the legislation, the Center for Reproductive Rights has teamed up with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to file a lawsuit against HB 1566 and put a hold on the legislation—which is set to go into effect starting on July 30—until a decision is made.

“Every day, women in Arkansas and across the United States struggle to get the care they need as lawmakers impose new ways to shut down clinics and make abortion unavailable,” Talcott Camp, a member of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, said in a statement. “A woman’s decision to end a pregnancy is hers to make with her family, her faith, and her doctor. We will fight politicians who not only seek to shame, punish, or burden women for making these decisions, but also try to push care out of reach."
