Existing law generally ensures the right of a woman to choose or obtain an abortion, but provides that the performance of an abortion is unauthorized under certain circumstances, including when the abortion is performed on a viable fetus and continuation of the pregnancy posed no risk to the life or health of the pregnant woman, as specified. This bill would enact the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act. The bill would prohibit a person from intentionally performing or attempting to perform an abortion with knowledge that the pregnant woman is seeking the abortion because of the gender of the unborn child. The bill would provide for injunctive relief, civil damages, and civil fines for a violation of this provision. The bill would also prohibit the public disclosure of the woman's identity, unless she consents to that disclosure.
