Full Bill Text
HB 1113 would prohibit abortion after the point of conception, with no exception for rape or incest.
This bill would allow exceptions to prevent the death of the mother, if the physician made a reasonable effort to save the life of the mother and the fetus; and if a licensed physician provided medical treatment and accidentally or unintentionally injured or caused the death of the fetus.
This bill would exclude pregnant mothers from criminal penalty. This bill would also exclude the sale and use of contraception prior to conception and if the contraceptive measure, device, drug, or chemical was used in accordance to manufacturer instruction.
The bill would make the termination of the life of an “unborn child” a class 1 felony, punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty.
A person who knowingly engages in conduct that creates a grave risk of death to another person, and results in the termination of the pregnancy of a woman would be guilty of unlawful termination of pregnancy in the third degree.
If a person recklessly causes the unlawful termination of a woman’s pregnancy in a manner other than stated above, they would be found guilty of unlawful termination of pregnancy in the fourth degree.
If a person operates or drives a motor vehicle in a reckless manner that directly results in the termination of a woman’s pregnancy, they would be found guilty of vehicular unlawful termination of pregnancy. If that same motorist was on drugs or drinking at the time, they would be guilty of aggravated vehicular unlawful termination of pregnancy.
