 1        AN ACT concerning abortions.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The Partial-birth Abortion Ban Act is amended
 5    by changing Section 10 as follows:

 6        (720 ILCS 513/10)
 7        Sec. 10. Partial-birth abortions prohibited.  Any  person
 8    who  knowingly  performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby
 9    kills a human fetus or infant is guilty of a Class 4  felony.
10    This  Section does not apply to a partial-birth abortion that
11    is necessary to save the life of the  a  mother  because  her
12    life  is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness,
13    or physical injury, including  a  life-endangering  condition
14    caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, provided that
15    no other medical procedure would suffice for that purpose.
