A.G. File No. 2008-002

Ban on Killing an Unborn Baby Prior to Birth

March 12, 2008

 


This measure would amend the State Constitution to fefine a viable fetus as one who “has attained sufficient development of organs as to be capable of living outside the uterus of the mother, with or with-out life support,” and state that a fetus would be presumed viable at 24 weeks and prohibit abortions on viable fetuses unless the mother’s life was endangered by certain physical conditions.
