Domestic Violence Abuse Bill Passes Senate

Senate Bill 1103 by President Pro Tempore Glenn Coffee unanimously passed the Senate today, providing protections for pregnant women subject to domestic violence abuse.

Senate Bill 1103 creates the “Use of Force for the Protection of the Unborn Act.” The provisions in Senate Bill 1103 include circumstances under which a pregnant woman is justified in using force or deadly force against another to protect her unborn child. This includes reasonable beliefs that the unborn child is threatened and the use of force is immediately necessary for the child’s protection.
