Qué contiene
La explicación oficial está en inglés; todavía no hay resumen en palabras sencillas.
This bill defines “person” for the purposes of the criminal code to be an individual living human being without regard to age of development from the moment of conception, when a zygote is formed, until natural death. Each such person is accorded the same rights and protections guaranteed to all persons by the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Iowa, and the laws of this state. The bill provides some exemptions to the interpretation and application of crimes against a person based on the definition.
