Vote Yes on this bill if you want the death of an unborn child at any stage of pregnancy during listed felonies or premeditated acts to count as first-degree murder, with life imprisonment or the death penalty, while keeping protections for legal abortion and medical care.

Organizations that support this bill may include pro-life advocacy groups, victims’ rights organizations, some law enforcement associations, and certain religious groups seeking stronger penalties when crimes harm a fetus.

Vote No on this bill if you want to avoid expanding first-degree murder to fetuses, reduce risks of overcharging in violent and drug cases, and limit the use of life or death penalties.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include reproductive rights groups, medical associations, civil liberties groups, and criminal justice reform organizations concerned about expanded criminal liability and harsh sentences.
