HB 2081 -- Use of Force to Defend an Unborn Child

Sponsor:  Riddle

This bill specifies that a pregnant woman may use deadly force to
protect her unborn child if she reasonably believes that deadly
force is necessary.  A pregnant woman does not have a duty to
retreat before using any physical or deadly force to protect her
unborn child unless she knows that retreating would secure the
complete safety of her unborn child and does not create a threat
to the unborn child.
