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

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking Section 44-41-410(6) and inserting the following:

/      (6) The Royal Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists reviewed the research on fetal pain in 2010 and reaffirmed that although the cortex can process sensory input from twenty-four weeks, it does not mean that the fetus is aware of pain. However, recent medical research and analysis, especially since 2007, provides strong evidence for the conclusion that a functioning cortex is not necessary to experience pain.            /
