Texas Medical Board should clarify rules to protect pregnant women who would suffer death or major bodily harm in the absence of an abortion.
Demonstrators march and gather near the Texas Capitol in Austin on June 24, 2022, following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Amid confusion over Texas laws and abortion, the Texas Medical Board has the tools to provide greater certainty for the protection of women’s lives, write Amy Bresnen and Steve Bresnen.
We had faith the board would do the right thing, believing the least Texas would do is value women enough to clearly allow an abortion if their lives depend on it. Charitably, the board’s proposed rules simply repeat current statutes and require certain documentation if an abortion is performed, giving little or no guidance to doctors before an abortion.
