A proposed bill in Indiana would allow prosecutors to charge someone with murder if they received or performed an abortion.

House Bill 1334 makes changes to Indiana’s criminal code, allowing an “unborn child” to be named the victim of a murder. It also removes language that exempts certain abortions from being considered murder.

Someone under the age of 18 who got an abortion or otherwise caused the termination of a pregnancy could be moved to adult court for murder.

Under this legislation, an unborn child includes any fertilized egg, so that would ban many fertility and invitrofertilization procedures.

The bill does make exceptions if the fetus happens to die during a life saving treatment for a mother if the medical staff tried to save the fetus. Spontaneous miscarriages do not count as murder.

A parent can also sue the person who harmed the “unborn child” for damages if the child was born.

The bill was sent to the Courts and Criminal Code committee, where it has not yet gotten a hearing.
