Texas lawmakers vote on a bill to clarify medical exceptions in the state's strict abortion ban.
A vote is scheduled in Texas on a bill that aims to clarify medical exceptions under the state's near-total abortion ban.
The legislation, which has bipartisan support, specifies that doctors won't face criminal charges when performing an abortion in a medical emergency causing major bodily impairment or death.
It does not broaden exceptions to include cases of rape or incest.
If approved by the Texas House, the bill could advance to Governor Greg Abbott.
This effort aligns with similar clarifications being sought in at least nine other states with restrictive abortion laws.
