This bill would establish equal protection of the laws for preborn babies, and has been assigned to the Tennessee House Population Health Subcommittee.

HB-1212 would expand South Dakota law to treat crimes against an unborn child the same as crimes against a born person (with specific exceptions for miscarriage and certain life-saving medical procedures for the mother), and it would also allow a wrongful-death lawsuit for the death or injury of an unborn child (for the benefit of the mother or lawfully married parents).

SB3572 (“Abolish Abortion Illinois Act”) would change Illinois law to treat an unborn child as a “person” under homicide and assault/battery laws (defined from fertilization), allow wrongful-death recovery for an unborn child, and make related conforming changes.

A bill for an act relating to the treatment of an unborn child for the purposes of damages for wrongful death, the defense of compulsion, homicide and related crimes, and assault, making penalties applicable, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

The “Prenatal Equal Protection Act” permits prosecution for homicide and assault of unborn children, allows exceptions, grants the Attorney General concurrent jurisdiction, and repeals existing laws.

This bill would treat unborn children as legally protected from fertilization, remove certain exceptions that allow assault or battery against an unborn child, and allow the Attorney General to prosecute some of these cases alongside local prosecutors. It also creates a limited “coercion” defense for women charged with murder in cases involving the death of an unborn child.

The bill redefines “human being” to include unborn children, removes certain abortion-related legal exemptions, repeals feticide, and ensures homicide and battery laws apply to unborn children as victims.

Establishes the “Missouri Prenatal Equal Protection Act”

Relating to the protection of an unborn child’s rights and criminal liability and justification for prohibited conduct.

The proposed legislation amends existing law to clarify the definitions and applicability of the terms “embryo,” “fetus,” and “preborn child” in relation to wrongful death lawsuits and the crimes of aggravated battery and homicide.

This legislation aims to define the terms “human being” and “person” in relation to offenses such as murder and assault, as well as in civil actions concerning deaths resulting from wrongful acts.

The “South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act” defines unborn children as “persons” and ensures they receive equal protection under homicide and assault laws, with some exceptions.
