Establishes and modifies provisions relating to the definition of abortion

Summary

The bill rewrites sections of Missouri statutes to define "abortion" as the intentional use of any instrument, device, drug, or other means to end a fetus, while carving out exceptions for saving the unborn child's life, removing a dead fetus, treating ectopic pregnancies, and pre‑viability separation to protect the mother's health. It also adds precise definitions for ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, and other medical terms, plus a series of unrelated legal definitions. The measure was referred to the Children and Families Committee and ultimately failed to pass.
