Relating to the regulation of abortion and related matters, including infant supportive palliative care and exceptions to and the repeal of certain laws prohibiting abortion.

Texas SB 51 modifies abortion regulations by adding a new exception for pregnancies involving a "lethal fetal anomaly or diagnosis," requiring two physicians (a treating physician and one specializing in obstetrics/gynecology) to confirm the abortion is medically necessary. It establishes rules for "infant supportive palliative care" for infants born with lethal anomalies and mandates a multidisciplinary ethics committee review for abortions after 24 weeks based on this exception. The bill clarifies that existing abortion prohibitions still apply except for this specific medical exception, while explicitly stating that the law does not repeal other abortion-related statutes. It directly affects physicians performing abortions, patients with diagnosed fetal anomalies, and medical ethics committees.
