Protecting Girls with Turner Syndrome Act of 2022
This bill creates new federal crimes related to the performance of an abortion on an unborn child who has Turner syndrome.
It subjects a violator to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to five years, or both.
It also authorizes civil remedies, including damages and injunctive relief.
A woman who undergoes such an abortion may not be prosecuted or held civilly liable.
