## Summary

**Bans abortions based on a prenatal diagnosis or suspicion of Turner syndrome.** This bill would prohibit performing or knowingly facilitating an abortion when the termination is sought because an unborn child has or may have Turner syndrome and would define key terms and limited exceptions. - Families and pregnant people: Women who had abortions in violation of the rule and certain relatives could bring civil suits to seek monetary and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorney’s fees. Providers who violate the prohibition could face fines or up to 5 years in prison. - Health care providers and clinics: Clinicians would have to ask whether a woman knows of Turner syndrome test results and inform her of the prohibition before performing an abortion. The bill also bars using force or coercion, soliciting or accepting funds for such abortions, and knowingly transporting someone across state lines to obtain one. - Courts and medical reporters: Medical professionals must report known or suspected violations and face fines or up to 1 year in jail for failure to report. Federal courts would treat cases on an expedited track and may use sealed records and pseudonyms to protect patient privacy while preserving defendants’ rights.
