AI Summary
This bill amends the "Born Alive Infant Protection Act" of 2002 to update the definition of "abortion." It clarifies that "abortion" refers to a medical procedure intended to terminate a pregnancy, but does not include the use of contraceptives or treatments for a spontaneous miscarriage. The bill also provides a detailed definition of "live birth" to include various signs of life after the complete expulsion or extraction of a fetus from the mother. The bill's enactment is tied to the passage of another bill, Senate Bill No. 474 of the 102nd Legislature.
