AbortionexceptionsAI label
↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Establishes that the pregnant individual's health must be prioritized over the fetus in treatment recommendations, creating a broad health exception that allows treatments risking the fetus.
Notwithstanding any other law, a physician or health care practitioner shall prioritize the health of a pregnant individual over the health of the fetus the individual is carrying when recommending a health care treatment for the individual, regardless of whether the treatment poses a risk of injury or death to the fetus.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision to Chapter 170A (Texas's abortion-related statutes) that mandates prioritizing the pregnant person's health over the fetus in all health care treatment recommendations, even when the treatment risks fetal injury or death. This directly affects abortion by broadening health-based exceptions to fetal protections and counters fetal personhood by subordinating fetal interests.
