Executive Summary

Protecting Girls with Turner Syndrome Act of 2022

This bill creates new federal crimes related to the performance of an abortion on an unborn child who has Turner syndrome.

It also authorizes civil remedies, including damages and injunctive relief.

A woman who undergoes such an abortion may not be prosecuted or held civilly liable.
