Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill, called the "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act," would make it illegal to perform an abortion if the unborn child is 20 weeks or older, unless it's to save the mother's life, or in cases of rape or incest. Physicians must determine the age of the unborn child and follow specific procedures, including informed consent and reporting requirements. Violating this law would be a crime for the physician, but the woman receiving the abortion would be immune from legal action.
