Bill Summary
Abortion; authorized to preserve health of mother; father of unborn child required to pay for certain abortion costs; district judge authorized to excuse father from payment if father undergoes vasectomy
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Alabama law to (1) allow abortions to preserve the health of the mother, rather than just to avoid a serious health risk, (2) require the father of the unborn child to pay for certain medical expenses related to the pregnancy and abortion, unless the mother waives this requirement, and (3) allow the father to petition the court to be excused from paying these expenses if he agrees to undergo a vasectomy. The bill also provides for expedited court proceedings to determine paternity and resolve disputes over the payment requirements.
