AI Summary

This bill, the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act, amends federal law to prohibit abortions after 15 weeks of gestation, with certain exceptions to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest. The bill cites scientific evidence that unborn children can experience pain by 15 weeks of gestation and establishes requirements for abortions performed after that point, such as the presence of a neonatal resuscitation specialist and specific informed consent procedures. The bill also includes civil remedies for violations and data collection requirements. Overall, the bill aims to protect unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from late-term abortions, while providing exceptions to protect the life and health of the mother.
