146.1 LIABILITY OF PERSONS RELATING TO PERFORMANCE OF
ABORTIONS.
An individual who may lawfully perform, assist, or participate in
medical procedures which will result in an abortion shall not be
required against that individual's religious beliefs or moral
convictions to perform, assist, or participate in such procedures. A
person shall not discriminate against any individual in any way,
including but not limited to employment, promotion, advancement,
transfer, licensing, education, training or the granting of hospital
privileges or staff appointments, because of the individual's
participation in or refusal to participate in recommending,
performing, or assisting in an abortion procedure. For the purposes
of this chapter, "abortion" means the termination of a human
pregnancy with the intent other than to produce a live birth or to
remove a dead fetus. Abortion does not include medical care which
has as its primary purpose the treatment of a serious physical
condition requiring emergency medical treatment necessary to save the
life of a mother. Section History: Early Form
