HB 3410 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes and modifies provisions relating to the definition of abortion

HB 3410 defines "abortion" in state law as using instruments, devices, or substances to destroy an embryo/fetus or intentionally terminate a pregnancy (excluding specific exceptions). It clarifies that procedures aren't considered abortions if performed to save the unborn child's life, remove tissue after miscarriage, treat ectopic pregnancy, or perform a pre-viability separation procedure necessary to save the pregnant person's life or prevent serious harm. The bill also establishes medical definitions for terms like "ectopic pregnancy," "miscarriage," and "pre-viability separation procedure" to guide legal interpretation. This definition directly affects medical providers, courts, and legal proceedings involving pregnancy-related care.
