Texas Lt. Gov. calls for clarity on abortion ban to protect doctors and maternal health.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called for clarifying the state's near-total abortion ban, saying the law is unclear on when doctors can perform abortions to save the mother's life. Doctors have expressed confusion and concern that they could face life imprisonment and fines for performing medically necessary procedures. A letter from 111 Texas OB-GYNs urged reform, stating the law threatens doctors and patients' health.
