People’s Deputy of
Ukraine Dimitry Golubov has introduced a bill proposing to ban abortions
except in cases where the mother’s health is at risk or the conception
was a result of rape into the Verkhovna Rada, reports strana.ua.
Bill No. 6239 on amendments to some legislative acts of Ukraine
regarding restrictions on the artificial interruption of pregnancy
(abortion) was registered in the Ukrainian Parliament on Monday, with
the text being released on the Rada’s website on Wednesday, March 27.
The legislator has proposed to eliminate the Ukrainian civil code
provision that allows for abortions by desire up to the twelfth week of
pregnancy. The new proposal would allow abortions only in certain legal
circumstances, up to the twenty-second week of pregnancy.
If the proposed bill is passed, abortions may be carried out by health
facilities if the pregnancy poses a direct threat to the life of the
mother, if there is evidence of a serious abnormality in the child, or
if the conception occurred due to rape. The bill’s author is a member of
the parliamentary Committee on Legal Policy and Justice.

Pointless to allow exceptions because ALL pregnancies are dangerous and can be qualified as threatening the mother's life. That is why partial-birth abortions, which involve decapitation of a living infant, are carried out every day.
