‘‘1531. Partial-birth abortions prohibited.

‘‘§ 1531. Partial-birth abortions prohibited

‘‘(a) Whoever, in or affecting interstate or

foreign commerce, knowingly performs a

partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a

human fetus shall be fined under this title or

imprisoned not more than two years, or

both.

‘‘(b) As used in this section, the term ‘partial-birth abortion’ means an abortion in

which the person performing the abortion

partially vaginally delivers a living fetus before killing the fetus and completing the delivery.

‘‘(c)(1) The father, and if the mother has

not attained the age of 18 years at the time

of the abortion, the maternal grandparents

of the fetus, may in a civil action obtain appropriate relief, unless the pregnancy resulted from the plaintiff’s criminal conduct

or the plaintiff consented to the abortion.

‘‘(2) Such relief shall include—

‘‘(A) money damages for all injuries, psychological and physical, occasioned by the

violation of this section; and

‘‘(B) statutory damages equal to three

times the cost of the partial-birth abortion.

‘‘(d) A woman upon whom a partial-birth

abortion is performed may not be prosecuted

under this section, for a conspiracy to violate this section, or for an offense under section 2, 3, or 4 of this title based on a violation of this section.

‘‘(e) It is an affirmative defense to a prosecution or a civil action under this section,

which must be proved by a preponderance of

the evidence, that the partial-birth abortion

was performed by a physician who reasonably believed—

‘‘(1) the partial-birth abortion was necessary to save the life of the mother; and

‘‘(2) no other procedure would suffice for

that purpose.’’.
