Wrongful Death Lawsuits for Abortions (S. 713)

  • Status: Active
  • Position: Oppose
  • Bill Number: S. 713
  • Session: 126th General Assembly (2025-2026)
  • Latest Update: January 13, 2026
We oppose S. 713

This bill would expand the definition of “wrongful death” to include abortion. This bill states that a wrongful death lawsuit could be brought by the mother, father, or both mother and father of an embryo or fetus.

We oppose this bill because: This bill further increases control over people’s bodies and reproductive freedom. This bill has the potential to cause harm and distress to pregnant people.
