Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 1, by striking Section 44-41-820(C)(4), (5), and (6) and inserting:

  (4) lawfully prescribing, dispensing, or distributing a drug, medicine, or other substance for a bona fide medical reason that is not intended to cause an abortion in violation of this section; or
  (5) the act of administering an abortion-inducing drug when the drug is administered by a physician licensed by the South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners who administers the abortion-inducing drug in person to the pregnant woman when such administration is otherwise lawful pursuant to South Carolina law; provided, however, the provisions of this item are not a defense against prosecution under any other provision of law that makes the abortion unlawful, whether the other provision of law is in effect on the effective date of this article, or becomes unlawful at a later date; or
  (6)(5) any act by a licensed pharmacist or pharmacy related to filling a prescription for a drug, medicine, or other substance prescribed for a bona fide medical reason; provided, however, a diagnosis or a diagnosis code must be written on the prescription by the prescriber indicating that the drug, medicine, or other substance is intended for a purpose other than to cause an abortion in violation of this section.
