Introduced
by
To prohibit “partial birth abortions” as defined in the bill, unless in a physician's reasonable medical judgment a partial-birth abortion is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury. The bill does not specify a "health of the mother" exception. Violation would be subject the abortion provider (but not the mother) to up to two years in prison and a $50,000 fine.

Amendment offered
by
To establish as part of a "legislative finding” that the state or a local governmental unit shall not “deprive consenting individuals of the right to obtain and use safe and effective methods of contraception; or interfere with or discriminate against, in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information, the right of consenting individuals to obtain and use safe and effective methods of contraception."
