A new California bill backed by prominent leaders would permit infanticide by legalizing \u201cperinatal death,\u201d a medical phrase that includes the time after birth, pro-life activists are warning.<\/p>\n

Supporters of the bill,\u00a0AB 2223<\/a>, say it would ensure that pregnant women cannot be prosecuted for an abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth. The bill\u2019s language, though, extends beyond those three categories, critics say.<\/p>\n

Specifically, AB 2223 says \u201ca person shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability or penalty\u201d due to their \u201cmiscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further, the bill protects anyone \u201cwho aids or assists a pregnant person in exercising their rights under this\u201d bill.<\/p>\n

Merriam-Webster\u00a0defines<\/a> \u201cperinatal death\u201d as \u201coccurring in, concerned with, or being in the period around the time of birth.\u201d A 2005 article in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health\u00a0defined<\/a> perinatal as the \u201ctime period starting at 22 completed weeks (154 days) gestation and lasting through seven days after birth.\u201d<\/p>\n

AB 2223 was named a\u00a0priority bill\u00a0<\/a>by the California Future of Abortion Council, which California Gov. Gavin Newsom supports. The council lists Newsom as a participant. Members of the council include Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice California.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough definitions of \u2018perinatal death\u2019 vary, all of them include the demise of newborns seven days or more after birth,\u201d Greg Burt of the California Family Council wrote in a\u00a0blog<\/a> on the organization\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The bill, Burt said, would \u201ccodify the killing of unborn children throughout all nine months of pregnancy but to decriminalize killing newborns days or even weeks after birth.\u201d<\/p>\n
