2007 Senate Bill 776 ↩

House Roll Call 442: Passed

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. Note: The House did not take up the sentencing guidelines bill that accompanies all criminal code bills, which may make passage of this bill moot even if the governor signs it.
