Relating to wrongful death actions arising from the death of an unborn child resulting from an abortion.

This bill (SB 2961) prevents wrongful death lawsuits claiming the death of an unborn child resulting from a legal abortion. It amends Texas law to exclude such claims from being filed against the child's mother, physicians performing lawful medical procedures (including abortions), or others dispensing drugs under legal circumstances. The law specifically states these claims cannot be brought if the death results from an abortion as defined by Texas Health and Safety Code § 245.002. This change applies only to cases arising after the bill's effective date (September 1, 2025, unless passed by two-thirds vote for immediate effect).
