The bill amends the Arkansas Human Life Protection Act and the Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act to include an exception for abortions in cases where the pregnancy results from incest. Specifically, it allows for abortions when a report has been filed with a law enforcement agency or prosecuting attorney's office alleging the offense of incest or the sexual assault of a minor.

The legal language in the bill modifies existing provisions by changing the phrasing from "to" to "To" in the context of saving the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency, and it introduces the new exception for incest-related pregnancies. This change is reflected in both the Human Life Protection Act and the Unborn Child Protection Act, ensuring consistency across the legislation.
