Bill Summary
For legislation to prohibit abortions solely on account of the sex of the unborn child. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Massachusetts law, specifically sections 12L and 12M of Chapter 112 of the General Laws, to prohibit abortions performed solely because of the sex of the unborn child. The key provision is that a physician cannot intentionally perform an abortion if they know the mother is seeking it only due to the sex of the fetus. This adds a restriction to the existing regulations governing abortions in Massachusetts, which are found in Chapter 112 of the General Laws.
