Section 26-23F-3 Definitions. For the purpose of this chapter, the following words and phrases
shall have the following meanings: (1) ABORTION. The use or prescription of any instrument,
medicine, drug, or any other substance or device with the intent to terminate the pregnancy
of a woman known to be pregnant with knowledge that the termination by those means will with
reasonable likelihood cause the death of the unborn child. Such use or prescription is not
an abortion if done with the intent to save the life or preserve the health of an unborn child,
remove a dead unborn child, or to deliver the unborn child prematurely in order to preserve
the health of both the mother (pregnant woman) and her unborn child. The term "abortion"
as used in this chapter, does not include a procedure or act to terminate the pregnancy of
a woman with an ectopic pregnancy, nor does it include the procedure or act to terminate the
pregnancy of a woman when the unborn child has a lethal anomaly. (2) BODILY...

Section 22-19-71.1 Promotion of organ donation through the application and renewal process
for driver's licenses. (a) This section shall be named Angelynn and Courtney's Law. (b) The
Legislature finds: (1) There is an acute need for organ donors in Alabama and throughout the
nation. (2) According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, more than 121,000 people are
waiting for an organ transplant nationally, and a new person is added to the waiting list
every 18 minutes. (3) In Alabama, more than 3,300 people are waiting for an organ transplant.
(4) For an average of 19 people per day, the wait is too long and they die before a suitable
organ is available. (5) The Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act currently provides for notice
of intent to make an organ donation upon the donor's death. (6) A checkoff on a driver's license
to be an organ donor has been a very successful way to encourage organ donation, but more
can be done to provide greater education and public awareness regarding...
