It shall be unlawful to willfully perform an abortion unless the abortion is performed: (1) by a physician licensed to practice medicine pursuant to chapter 147, or a physician in training under the supervision of a licensed physician; (2) in a hospital or abortion facility if the abortion is performed after the first trimester; (3) in a manner consistent with the lawful rules promulgated by the state commissioner of health; and (4) with the consent of the woman submitting to the abortion after a full explanation of the procedure and effect of the abortion. Subd. 2.
