Petition Viable Infant Life Preservation

An amendment to the Abortion Act with regard to the destruction of unborn children at or before birth. Any person who, with intent to destroy the life of a child capable of being born alive, by any wilful act causes or knowingly attempts to cause a child to die before it has an existence independent of its mother, shall be guilty of felony, to wit, of child destruction, and shall be liable on conviction thereof on indictment to penal servitude for life.That a child in utero capable of being born alive must legally be treated by all physicians, medical staff and any other interested parties as a living human person and patient distinct from its mother and all reasonable measures must be taken to ensure the preservation of its life. For the purposes of this Amendment, evidence that a woman had at any material time been pregnant for a period of twenty-four weeks or more shall be primâ facie proof that she was at that time pregnant of a child capable of being born alive.
