Texas HB2251 modifies abortion laws by allowing exceptions and repealing certain statutes.

Texas HB2251 amends existing abortion laws by allowing exceptions for certain medical conditions and repealing specific statutes. The bill permits abortions if a licensed physician determines that the pregnant woman's health is at risk, if the fetus has a severe congenital anomaly, if multiple fetuses pose a risk to each other, if a miscarriage endangers the woman's health, or if the pregnancy resulted from a crime. It also exempts licensed physicians from criminal, civil, and administrative penalties and mandates documentation of the circumstances in the patient's medical record.
