Hawaii SB1271 regulates abortion procedures, prohibiting most abortions after a certain gestational age and banning dismemberment abortions.
Hawaii SB1271 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to introduce stringent regulations on abortion procedures. The bill prohibits the performance of an abortion if the unborn child is deemed pain-capable, defined as having reached a post-fertilization age at which the child can experience pain. Exceptions are made for cases where the abortion is necessary to save the life of the pregnant person or if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest. The bill also bans dismemberment abortions, except when necessary to save the life of the pregnant person.
