The Texas Alliance for Life argued Friday the Texas law is necessary, claiming it is “saving unborn babies’ and pregnant women’s lives.”
“The law allows doctors to perform abortions to save pregnant women’s lives in rare and tragic cases when medically necessary,” said Amy O’Donnell, the organization’s communications director.

O’Donnell, at the meeting of the Texas Medical Board. The Board will consider promulgating guidance to physicians treating women with pregnancies that risk the loss of a woman’s life or a major bodily function. The statement by Ms. O’Donnell emphasizes that Texas’ abortion laws have a medical-necessity exception to allow physicians to perform abortions in such rare and tragic cases. During the first 16 months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, doctors have performed 71 abortions under the medical-necessity exception, according to data from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, with no liability for the physicians.

I am here today to advocate for the Board to set forth rules explaining to physicians the meaning of the medical necessity section of the Human Life Protection Act, the law to protect unborn babies from abortion the Legislature passed in 2021 during the 87th Regular Session. We are grateful the board has taken this up for consideration today.
