Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to feticide, making penalties applicable, and providing for a repeal.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law on feticide in Iowa. It changes the timeline for when termination of a pregnancy is considered feticide, making it a crime to terminate a pregnancy after one week post-fertilization instead of after the end of the second trimester. However, the bill provides exceptions for terminations performed by licensed physicians to preserve the life of the pregnant person or to address a serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment, as well as for cases where the fetus has an anomaly incompatible with life. Additionally, the bill repeals chapters 146A and 146B of the Iowa Code.
