Under Public Chapter No. 1032, passed earlier this year, an adult who “intentionally recruits, harbors, or transports a pregnant unemancipated minor” for the purpose of receiving an abortion or obtaining abortion pills would face a class-A misdemeanor for “wrongful death of an unborn child,” which could result in one year of jail time.
