Bill Summary
An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in abortion, further providing for definitions, for medical consultation and judgment and for reporting.
AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's abortion law by adding a definition for "Down syndrome" and prohibiting abortions sought solely due to the sex of the unborn child or a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. The bill also requires physicians to acknowledge in their reporting that the abortion was not sought for those reasons. Additionally, the bill imposes penalties on physicians who violate these provisions, but exempts women from any liability for such violations.
