(a) Since it is the intent of the state to assert two (2) separate and independent compelling state interests, those in protecting the lives of viable unborn children and protecting the lives of unborn children from the stage at which substantial medical evidence indicates that they are capable of feeling pain, this subchapter does not repeal by implication or otherwise § 20-16-705.
(b) This subchapter does not repeal by implication or otherwise any other provision of this chapter.
