Bill > H2277

This bill amends Massachusetts law to prohibit healthcare providers from performing or inducing an abortion if they know the pregnant woman is seeking the abortion due to a test result or diagnosis indicating Down syndrome in the unborn child. The bill imposes criminal penalties, including imprisonment and fines, on healthcare providers who violate this prohibition. It also requires the revocation of medical licenses for those who violate the law and allows for civil liability and lawsuits. The bill includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the law is found invalid, the rest of the law can still be enforced.
