Texas HB1307 amends the definition of abortion in state law.

Texas HB1307 amends the Health and Safety Code to redefine "abortion" as the act of using or prescribing an instrument, a drug, a medicine, or any other substance, device, or means with the intent to cause the death of an unborn child of a woman known to be pregnant. The term does not include birth control devices, oral contraceptives, or in vitro fertilization. An act is not considered an abortion if it is done with the intent to save the life or preserve the health of an unborn child, remove a dead, unborn child whose death was caused by spontaneous abortion, or remove an ectopic pregnancy.
