Alaska SB271, known as the Alaska Heartbeat Act, prohibits abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, with exceptions for medical emergencies.

The Alaska Heartbeat Act, SB271, amends Alaska's abortion laws by prohibiting a physician from performing or inducing an abortion if a fetal heartbeat is detected, except in cases of medical emergencies. The act mandates that a physician must determine the presence of a fetal heartbeat before performing an abortion, using a test appropriate for the gestational age of the unborn child. It also requires a woman to receive a sonogram and be informed about the presence of a fetal heartbeat before an abortion is performed.
