Some Texas doctors are so worried about the state's three overlapping abortion bans that they speak in code about pregnancy complications: 'I've heard traveling to Colorado is really nice this time of year.'
There is an exception in Texas law that allows abortion when a woman's life or a"major bodily function" is in imminent danger. But it's not uncommon for there to be pregnancy complications — like Lauren Miller's — where many doctors would consider it to be the standard of care to offer abortion as an option. Those are the kind of circumstances where physicians feel like they can't be fully truthful about a patient's options without risking a lawsuit.
Still, these laws are not as sweeping as some seem to think, law professor Sepper says, and none should apply in Miller's case. Republican legislators realize ...'we weren't punished at the ballot box. So what is the incentive to do anything different?'
