It also restricts the use of fetal tissue, repeals existing abortion-related laws, and makes related changes to sales and use tax exemptions and other statutes. The bill aims to protect the lives of unborn persons by repealing provisions that permit willful prenatal murder or assault, and declares unconstitutional any federal statute, regulation, treaty, order or court decision that would override the act.
