Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates civil liability and damages for the perpetrator of sexual assault when it results in a pregnancy carried to term, including recovery for child care costs that supplements but does not alter existing child support rules. It also triggers the fetal personhood tag by imposing legal consequences tied to the pregnancy resulting in a child carried to term.
