A bill to prohibit an abortion after fetal viability and to define fetal viability for purposes of section 28 of article I of the state constitution of 1963.
Prohibits abortions after fetal viability, as defined in relation to the state constitution of 1963. The bill specifies that an abortion cannot be performed once a fetus reaches fetal viability unless it is deemed medically necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant individual. Fetal viability is determined based on the gestational weeks identified by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, where there is a significant likelihood of the fetus's survival outside the uterus without extraordinary medical measures.
