AN ACT relating to unborn children.

Summary

The measure adds unborn children, from fertilization to birth, to Kentucky’s homicide and assault statutes, making their deaths or injuries subject to the same legal rules as those for born persons. It includes exceptions for deaths caused by necessary life‑saving medical procedures or natural miscarriages, and gives the Attorney General shared authority to prosecute such cases. The bill also revises sentencing rules, allowing certain non‑violent offenders to have their sentences suspended under specific conditions.
