Michigan HB4671 amends the state's penal code to extend homicide and assault laws to unborn children.
Michigan HB4671 amends the state's penal code by adding sections 89a and 322a, referred to as the "justice for babies in the womb act." This legislation applies homicide and assault laws to unborn children in the same manner as they would apply to born individuals. It specifies that the unintentional death or injury of an unborn child does not violate these laws if the death or injury results from certain conditions, such as spontaneous miscarriages or life-saving procedures for the mother.
