An Act related to Down syndrome

This bill prohibits medical professionals from performing or inducing an abortion specifically because of a Down syndrome diagnosis in the unborn child. It applies to physicians, nurses, and other licensed healthcare providers who know the abortion is sought due to a Down syndrome test result or diagnosis. Violations carry criminal penalties (up to 15 years imprisonment), license revocation, and civil liability for damages. The bill explicitly states the pregnant woman seeking such an abortion is not liable for the violation.
