Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses abortion/personhood-ivf by enabling legal proceedings treating an unborn child as a party to a parent-child relationship suit (with fetal personhood implications for custody/support), and custody-support subtags by changing rules for filing, severing, and adjudicating custody, parenting time, and support matters involving an unborn child in divorce cases. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
