Abortion law emergency-exemption guidance proposed by Texas Medical Board
The Texas Medical Board, responding to pressure from the state Supreme Court and widespread uncertainty among physicians, proposed draft guidance Friday in an attempt to clarify what constitutes emergency grounds for a legal abortion.

He said they were not intended to “regulate or prohibit abortion” but to help define legal exemptions whereby abortion is permitted to save the life or major bodily function of the mother.
