AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the health of mothers and born-alive fetuses after the second trimester of pregnancy. It amends existing Massachusetts laws to: (1) require that any abortion or intentional miscarriage procedure performed after the second trimester be done in a hospital and certified by three physicians as necessary to prevent the mother's death; and (2) mandate that hospitals and physicians employ all life-saving measures to preserve the life and health of a fetus born alive following an abortion or intentional miscarriage.
