Digest
SB 2961 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to expand wrongful death claims to include the death of an unborn child resulting from an abortion. It removes prior statutory exemptions that protected physicians, healthcare providers, and individuals administering legal abortion procedures from wrongful death lawsuits. The bill does not apply retroactively and will only impact claims arising after its effective date​.
