SB 9 - This act defines "partial birth abortion" as a method or technique of abortion in which the person performing the abortion partially vaginally delivers a living fetus before intentionally killing the infant and completing the delivery.
The act prohibits a physician from performing a partial
birth abortion unless necessary to preserve the life of the
mother. Any physician who performs a partial birth abortion when
it is not necessary to save the life of the mother shall be
guilty of a Class D felony.
