💨 Abstract

In Texas, a crucial vote is set to clarify medical exceptions under the state's strict near-total abortion ban. Austin Dennard, who left Texas for an abortion after a fetal diagnosis, expressed mixed feelings about the bill, as it does not list specific medical conditions or include fatal fetal anomalies as exceptions. The legislation aims to prevent criminal charges for doctors performing abortions in life-threatening emergencies but does not extend exceptions to cases of rape or incest.
