Abortion - As introduced, creates an exception to the offense of criminal abortion if the person who performed or attempted to perform the abortion was a licensed physician and the patient's pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 15, Part 2.

HB 1105 would amend Tennessee law to create a legal exception for physicians performing abortions when the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, as defined by specific Tennessee statutes. This exception applies only to licensed doctors who perform or attempt to perform the abortion, and it would prevent criminal charges for the physician in those specific circumstances. The bill directly affects licensed physicians who provide abortions in cases of rape or incest and their patients in those situations. It does not change general abortion restrictions but adds a specific defense for physicians in these defined cases.
