Ch. 409

no part of this general fund appropriation

may be paid to any physician or surgeon or

any hospital, clinic or other medical facility

for or in connection with the performance

of any abortion, except upon certification

by a physician or surgeon, based upon his

or her professional judgment that the

procedure is necessary, provided one of the

following conditions exists: where

continuation of the pregnancy is likely to

result in the death of the woman; or where

the woman is a victim of rape, sexual

offense, or incest which has been reported

to a law enforcement agency or a public

health or social agency; or where it can be

ascertained by the physician with a

reasonable degree of medical certainty that

the fetus is affected by genetic defect or

serious deformity or abnormality; or where

it can be ascertained by the physician with

a reasonable degree of medical certainty

that termination of pregnancy is medically

necessary because there is substantial risk

that continuation of the pregnancy could

have a serious and adverse effect on the

woman's present or future physical health;

or before an abortion can be performed on

the grounds of mental health there must be

certification in writing by the physician or

surgeon that in his or her professional

judgment there exists medical evidence

that continuation of the pregnancy is

creating a serious effect on the woman's

present mental health and if carried to

term there is a substantial risk of a serious

or long lasting effect on the woman's future

mental health...............................................
