Title: ABOLISH ABORTION-DEFINE PERSON

Summary

Provides that the Act may be referred to as the Abolish Abortion Illinois Act. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Includes in the Homicide Article and the Assault and Battery Subdivision of the Code definitions that define "person"", ""individual"", and ""another"" as any living human being, including a preborn child at any stage of biological development, from fertilization until natural death. Provides that these definitions do not apply to the unintentional death of an unborn child when such death results from: (1) the undertaking of life-saving procedures on a pregnant woman when such procedures are accompanied by reasonable steps, if available, to save the life of her unborn child; or (2) spontaneous miscarriage. Provides that enforcement when the victim is an unborn child is subject to the same presumptions, defenses, justifications, immunities, and clemencies as would apply to the homicide of a human being who had been born alive. Provides that the provisions of the Article and Subdivision are in addition to any other provisions relating to the death of an unborn child and supersede any other provisions relating to the death of an unborn child to the extent that those provisions are in conflict with or are inconsistent with the provisions of the Article and Subdivision. Eliminates various offenses as conforming changes. Amends the Wrongful Death Act. Defines ""person"" to include an unborn child. Defines ""unborn child"" and ""fertilization"". Makes other changes. Provides that the Act is prospective. Contains a severability provision. Effective immediately."
