“We applaud Senator Hughes and his Senate colleagues for uniting to help Texas women get the care they need when a medical emergency arises during their pregnancy. Physicians need the clarity this bill offers to provide that care. It’s a good step toward preserving the life and health of mothers including their ability to have children in the future while giving them access to the critical care they need.”

“Today’s action is a big step forward for the Life of the Mother Act, and it’s great news for Texas women and Texas health care. This legislation has been a labor of love for everyone, with people from all sides of the issue joining forces to give greater clarity to physicians and hospitals caring for pregnant women in distress. We applaud the lawmakers who have helped champion this effort and have gone to bat for women to help make Texas health care even stronger.
