AI Summary
This bill provides an exception under the Preborn Child Protection Act to allow an abortion after twelve weeks in the case of a fatal fetal anomaly, and changes and eliminates certain penalty provisions relating to abortions.
Specifically, the bill amends existing laws to define "fatal fetal anomaly" as a terminal condition diagnosed before birth by at least two physicians that is incompatible with life outside the womb and will result in the death of the preborn child upon birth or inevitably thereafter. The bill allows for an abortion in the case of a fatal fetal anomaly, and requires the physician to certify in writing the details of the diagnosis. The bill also removes a penalty for performing an abortion using accepted medical procedures that otherwise violates the Preborn Child Protection Act.
