The Texas Medical Board has adopted guidelines to assist doctors in interpreting the state's new abortion laws. The board unanimously approved the guidelines, aiming to clarify exceptions to the abortion ban, although specific cases were not listed. The rules aim to reduce paperwork requirements and provide guidance for emergency abortions.
“Our law allowed that doctor to intervene [perform an abortion] sooner, and so that's not an issue with the law,” O’Donnell said. “Her story is heartbreaking, but it is not an outcome that's based on Texas law, but just a doctor who didn't perform the life-saving abortion.” https://t.co/jbrYXxpraB
