Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Senate Bill 467, the wording regarding the conditions under which pregnancy can be terminated after fetal viability has been clarified but remains essentially the same. The amendment specifies that terminations can occur only if they are necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother. This change is significant because it aims to provide clearer guidance on the circumstances in which terminations are permissible, which can affect healthcare providers and expectant mothers in understanding their rights and options.
