revise provisions in order to strengthen protections for unborn children.

Summary

The measure amends the state's wrongful‑death law to let mothers or lawfully married parents sue for damages when an unborn child is killed. It adds a new criminal provision that treats offenses against an unborn child the same as those against a person, except for lifesaving procedures and spontaneous miscarriages. It also removes the existing fetal‑homicide definition and a rule shielding women from criminal liability for unlawful abortions.
