Rep. J.E. SMITH proposes the following Amendment No. 3a to H. 3114 (COUNCIL\BH\3114C004.BH.VR15):

Reference is to Printer's Date 5/19/15-S.

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking Section 44-41-420(10) and inserting the following:

/      (10) The position, asserted by some medical experts, that the unborn child remains in a coma-like sleep state that precludes the unborn child experiencing pain. For fetal surgery any analgesia or anesthesia given to the fetus is not used to prevent the experience of pain. Rather analgesia or anesthesia is used to relax the uterus to prevent premature contractions, immobilize the fetus, and prevent possible adverse surgical outcomes.            /
