A bill to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled “The Michigan penal code,” by amending sections 90h and 213a (MCL 750.90h and 750.213a), section 90h as added by 2011 PA 168 and section 213a as added by 2016 PA 149.
SB 106 and 107 propose making performing a partial-birth abortion, except when the mother's life is at risk, a felony punishable by up to 4 years in prison or a fine up to $50,000, or both. It also allows certain family members to sue if a partial-birth abortion occurs, except in cases where the pregnancy resulted from the plaintiff's criminal conduct or the plaintiff consented to the abortion. Importantly, women seeking partial-birth abortions are not considered conspirators under this law, and it does not create a right to abortion. SB 107 adjusts sentencing guidelines.
