Adds an exception to the general abortion prohibition for pregnancies resulting from sexual assault or related offenses, without requiring a police report, forensic evidence, or prosecution, so more legal access to abortion in those cases.
The prohibition under Subsection (a) does not apply if the pregnancy resulted from sexual assault in violation of Section 22.011, Penal Code, aggravated sexual assault in violation of Section 22.021, Penal Code, or conduct constituting an offense under Section 25.02, Penal Code.

↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 90%
Repeals Chapter 6-1/2, Title 71, Revised Statutes (the pre-Roe Texas abortion ban) and makes conforming changes to remove references to it, so less legal prohibition on abortion.
Chapter 6-1/2, Title 71, Revised Statutes, is repealed.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new exception for abortions in cases of sexual assault or related offenses (without requiring reporting or prosecution), exempts such abortions from the six-week ban, and repeals the pre-Roe total ban in Chapter 6-1/2 while updating cross-references; all provisions expand legal access to abortion and none restrict it.
