SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment will make it an offence for a woman who is pregnant
to consume a substance harmful to her foetus unless she definitely
intends to abort the foetus.
|
|
|
|
In addition, it will authorize a court to make orders confining the
mother to an appropriate facility during the pregnancy and directing
treatment if the court considers such orders necessary to protect the
foetus from further similar harm.
