A bill for an act relating to terminology involving a pregnant female.

Summary

The bill amends Iowa’s criminal code, replacing the term “pregnant person” with “pregnant female” in sections that define feticide and other abortion‑related offenses. It also clarifies that a licensed physician may perform a termination without consent when the woman cannot give consent, and it adds a definition for acts or omissions by the pregnant female. The changes affect anyone charged under these statutes, including medical providers and alleged perpetrators.
