Texas SB2961 exempts certain parties from wrongful death actions for deaths of unborn children resulting from abortions.

Texas SB2961 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to exclude wrongful death claims against the mother, physicians, health care providers, and drug dispensers if the death is the intended result of a lawful medical procedure, a result of legal drug dispensation, or directly or indirectly caused by a lawful medical practice. The bill also specifies that it applies only to causes of action accruing after its effective date, with earlier actions governed by previous law.
