The bill amends Arkansas law concerning criminal abortion by introducing a new offense titled "coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud." This new section, designated as 5-61-103, defines key terms related to abortion, including "abortion-inducing drug," which encompasses various medications and substances intended to induce an abortion. The bill specifies that a person commits this offense if they knowingly administer an abortion-inducing drug to a pregnant woman without her knowledge or consent, with the intent to cause an abortion.

If convicted of this offense, the individual would be guilty of a Class B felony. Additionally, the bill clarifies that prosecution under this new section does not preclude other legal actions if the use of an abortion-inducing drug results in the death or bodily injury of the pregnant woman or an unborn child. This legislation aims to strengthen protections against coercive practices related to abortion.
