2007 House Bill 4613

Ban partial birth abortion

Introduced in the House

April 19, 2007

Introduced by Rep. Brian Palmer (R-36)

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. Violation would be subject the abortion provider (but not the mother) to up to two years in prison and a $50,000 fine.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
