↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 70%
Adds citizenship and foreign-adversary/terrorist restrictions on who may be a party to a gestational (surrogacy) agreement, so fewer people may use gestational surrogacy to have children.
Each intended parent and the gestational mother: (1) must be a citizen of the United States; and (2) may not be: (A) a citizen of a country designated as a foreign adversary... or (B) an individual acting on behalf of or for the benefit of a foreign terrorist organization
⚠ Quote could not be matched to the bill text: treat this label with caution
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Texas Family Code provisions on gestational agreements (surrogacy contracts) to impose new U.S. citizenship requirements and bars on parties linked to foreign adversaries or terrorist organizations. This affects access to surrogacy, which is classified under the abortion/personhood-ivf topic due to its connection to reproductive technologies, fetal personhood implications, and IVF-related issues. No other listed topics (firearms, transgender, immigration-enforcement) are substantively addressed.
