AI Summary
This bill, the Abolition of Abortion in Louisiana Act of 2022, aims to fully recognize the personhood of an unborn child from the moment of fertilization and provide equal protection under the law. It amends the definition of "person" and "unborn child" in the criminal code and enacts provisions to enforce abortion restrictions without regard to federal court rulings like Roe v. Wade. The bill also allows the state and its political subdivisions to disregard any federal court decisions that attempt to enjoin or void the provisions of the Act, and subjects any state judge who does so to potential impeachment or removal.
