Adds an exception to the general abortion prohibition for pregnancies resulting from sexual assault or related offenses, without requiring a report, evidence or prosecution, so more legal access to abortion in those cases.
It is an exception to the application of Subsection (a) that the pregnant patient indicates 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.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new exception for pregnancies from sexual assault (no report or prosecution required), cross-applies existing exceptions to that new carve-out, and repeals the pre-Roe total ban statute; all three changes expand legal access to abortion. No provisions restrict abortion, address personhood, change funding, or touch any other listed topic.
