Texas Law Clarifies Emergency Abortion Procedures
What happened
The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 31, also known as the Life of the Mother Act, which clarifies when doctors can legally perform abortions in emergencies. The law confirms that a pregnant person's death or impairment does not have to be imminent for a doctor to intervene. Furthermore, the law places the burden of proof on the state to demonstrate that no reasonable doctor would have provided an abortion in the same situation.
