AI Summary
This bill, the Heartbeat Protection Act of 2021, amends Title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit abortion in cases where a fetal heartbeat is detectable. Specifically, the bill makes it a criminal offense for a physician to perform an abortion without first determining whether the fetus has a detectable heartbeat and informing the mother of the results. The bill includes exceptions for abortions necessary to save the life of the mother, and it protects the mother from prosecution for an abortion performed in violation of the law.
