HB 681 would clarify that the offense of and murder of the first, second, and third degree, of a pregnant woman which thereby causes the death of an “unborn child,” would not require proof that the person engaging in the conduct had knowledge or should have had knowledge that the victim of the underlying offense was pregnant or that the defendant intended to cause the death of the “unborn child.”
This would also apply to the offense of voluntary manslaughter of an “unborn child.”
A person found guilty of murder of an “unborn child” of the first degree would be sentenced to a term of life imprisonment.
