↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 90%
Creates new exceptions to abortion bans specifically when the pregnancy resulted from in vitro fertilization, so more legal access to abortion for IVF pregnancies.
the pregnancy resulted from in vitro fertilization.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds exceptions to several Texas statutes that prohibit or restrict abortions (including third-trimester, heartbeat, medication abortion, partial-birth, dismemberment, and pre-viability rules) when the woman is 35+, has a high-risk condition, or the pregnancy is from IVF. This expands abortion access under the exceptions topic. The repeated IVF exception also qualifies under personhood-ivf because it carves out IVF pregnancies from abortion restrictions, even though the bill does not create fetal personhood.
