This bill removes protections from criminal prosecution for a pregnant person who chooses to have an abortion. It also removes protections for the physician who performs the abortion. Both parties could be charged with a Level 3 Felony under this legislation. 

Abortion is a matter of health care, not a criminal act. All people, including pregnant people, should be able to get the health care they need without interference by state politicians or fear of prosecution.
