SUMMARY

This enactment makes it an offence for a woman who is pregnant to consume a substance harmful to a foetus that she does not have a fixed intention to abort.

This enactment also authorizes a court to make orders confining the mother to an appropriate treatment facility during the pregnancy and, upon release, to report to her physician weekly until the pregnancy ends.
