The bill permits abortions when a woman's health faces a serious risk or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. It obligates the convicted father to pay all medical expenses for the pregnancy and abortion and to undergo a vasectomy or castration. A mother can ask a court to enforce the father's payment, and the court may waive the payment if the father agrees to a vasectomy.
