HB 1307 revises the definition of abortion under the Texas Health and Safety Code to explicitly exclude birth control methods, oral contraceptives, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). It also clarifies that medical procedures intended to save the life or health of an unborn child, remove a deceased fetus after a miscarriage, or address ectopic pregnancies are not classified as abortions. This provides greater legal clarity regarding medical practices and reproductive health procedures.
