The GOP-led House voted overwhelmingly to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who had pledged to sign it. It was passed by the state senate last year.

The measure would make an exception only if an abortion was performed to save the mother, lawmakers said.

Doctors who perform abortions under other circumstances would face a $100,000 fine in addition to a long prison sentence. Patients would not be prosecuted.

"The penalties are for the doctor, not for the woman," GOP state Rep. Jim Olsen.
