AI Summary
This bill proposes to narrow the right to reproductive choice and confer legal personhood status upon a human fetus beginning at 24 weeks of fetal development prior to birth. Specifically, the bill adds a new section to Vermont law that defines "person" to include human beings beginning at 24 weeks of fetal development prior to birth. It also amends existing Vermont laws related to reproductive rights to restrict access to abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy, while maintaining protections for the right to choose abortion prior to that point.
