     § 2605.  Voluntary manslaughter of unborn child.
        (a)  Offense defined.--A person who kills an unborn child
     without lawful justification commits voluntary manslaughter of
     an unborn child if at the time of the killing he is acting under
     a sudden and intense passion resulting from serious provocation
     by:
            (1)  the mother of the unborn child whom the actor
        endeavors to kill, but he negligently or accidentally causes
        the death of the unborn child; or
            (2)  another whom the actor endeavors to kill, but he
        negligently or accidentally causes the death of the unborn
        child.
        (b)  Unreasonable belief killing justifiable.--A person who
     intentionally or knowingly kills an unborn child commits
     voluntary manslaughter of an unborn child if at the time of the
     killing he believes the circumstances to be such that, if they
     existed, would justify the killing under Chapter 5 (relating to
     general principles of justification) but his belief is
     unreasonable.
        (c)  Penalty.--The penalty for voluntary manslaughter of an
     unborn child shall be the same as the penalty for voluntary
     manslaughter.
