9-4-5116. Abortion funding.

No state funds shall be expended to perform abortions. The limitations established in this section shall not apply to an abortion if:

     (1)  The pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest; or

     (2)  In the case where a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, that would, as certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death unless the abortion is performed.

[Acts 2003, ch. 355, § 67.]
