The bill defines this as deliberately and intentionally using an instrument to “dismember a living fetus by disarticulating limbs or decapitating the head from the fetal torso and removing the dismembered fetal body parts from the uterus.” The bill was introduced following release of undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the collection and sale of fetal body parts.
