AI Summary
This bill repeals sections 188.015 and 188.052 of the Missouri Revised Statutes and enacts new sections 188.015, 188.038, and 188.052 relating to a ban on certain selective abortions. The new provisions prohibit performing or inducing an abortion if the person knows the woman is seeking the abortion solely because of a prenatal diagnosis, test, or screening indicating Down Syndrome or the potential of Down Syndrome in the unborn child, or solely because of the sex or race of the unborn child. The bill also requires the attending physician to certify that they do not have knowledge that the woman sought the abortion for those reasons and adds this certification to the required individual abortion report.
