↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Defines 'unborn child' by reference to Section 170A.001(5) and makes the offense a first-degree felony if the unborn child dies as a result of the abortion, treating the fetus as a victim with legal consequences.
⚠ Quote could not be matched to the bill text: treat this label with caution
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new chapter prohibiting and penalizing the transport or funding of transport of an unemancipated minor out of Texas for an abortion without parental consent (with exceptions for certain cases and no penalties on the minor), which restricts abortion access via interstate travel; it also uses fetal personhood language by defining 'unborn child' and escalating penalties if the unborn child dies.
