(6.5) Comprehensive human sexuality education does not require instruction on pregnancy outcome options. However, if a school district, board of cooperative services, charter school, or institute charter school opts to provide instruction on pregnancy outcome options, the instruction must cover all pregnancy outcome options, including but not limited to adoption, abortion, parenting, and information concerning sections 18-6-401 (9) and 19-3-304.5, or any successor laws, referred to generally as "safe haven laws". Instruction on pregnancy outcome options must be provided in an objective, unbiased manner and must not endorse or favor one or more pregnancy outcome options.
