Bill Summary
Detected Heartbeat/Prohibit Abortion
AI Summary
This bill prohibits abortion in North Carolina after a qualified physician determines that the unborn child has a detectable human heartbeat, except in cases of medical emergency as defined by state law. It also removes the previous 20-week time limit for lawful abortions and requires physicians to report certain information to the Department of Health and Human Services when performing abortions after the point of detectable heartbeat. Additionally, the bill maintains existing protections for healthcare providers who object to performing abortions on moral, ethical, or religious grounds.
