The Dismemberment Abortion Prohibition Act aims to prohibit dismemberment abortion procedures by establishing clear definitions and guidelines surrounding the practice. The bill outlines the requirements for reporting such procedures and sets forth penalties and professional sanctions for violations.

In addition to the prohibition, the legislation emphasizes the importance of compliance and accountability within the medical community regarding abortion practices. The act is designed to ensure that dismemberment abortions are not performed, thereby reinforcing the state's stance on the matter.
