▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation prohibits abortion procedures when a fetal heartbeat can be detected, with the exceptions included for rape, incest, and life of the mother. A detectable heartbeat is a key indicator, in law and medical practice alike, of the existence of life. This legislation becomes effective upon the issuance of any decision upholding a restriction or ban on abortion of a preborn child with a heartbeat by any United States appellate court.
