Texas lawmaker introduces bill to clarify medical exceptions in state’s abortion ban

A Texas lawmaker, Bryan Hughes, introduced a bill to clarify medical exceptions in the state's abortion law, changing the requirement from life-threatening conditions to general medical emergencies.
The bill aims to train doctors and lawyers about the updated law.
This legislative move is seen as necessary due to Texas's strict abortion laws and follows similar efforts in Kentucky.
Abortion rights advocates argue that no clarification can change the dangerous nature of abortion bans, which still criminalize doctors for providing care.
