As used in this act:
1. "Abortion" means the act of using, prescribing,
administering, procuring, or selling of any instrument, medicine,
drug, or any other substance, device, or means with the purpose to
terminate the pregnancy of a woman, with knowledge that the
termination by any of those means will with reasonable likelihood
cause the death of an unborn child. It does not include the use,
prescription, administration, procuring, or selling of Plan B,
morning-after pills, or any other type of contraception or emergency
contraception. An act is not an abortion if the act is performed

child,
b. remove a dead unborn child caused by spontaneous
abortion, or
c. remove an ectopic pregnancy;
2. "Fertilization" means the fusion of a human spermatozoon
with a human ovum;
3. "Medical emergency" means a condition in which an abortion
is necessary to preserve the life of a pregnant woman whose life is
endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical
injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or
arising from the pregnancy itself;
4. "Unborn child" means a human fetus or embryo in any stage of
gestation from fertilization until birth; and
5. "Woman" and "women" include any person whose biological sex
is female, including any person with XX chromosomes and any person
with a uterus, regardless of any gender identity that the person
