A bill filed in the Texas Legislatures special session would revoke the licenses of doctors who perform abortions in the state, with limited exceptions.
The measure, filed by far-right Representative Valoree Swanson, R-Spring, would expand the prohibited practices that result in a physicians license being revoked, a category that already includes several abortion-related measures. Under House Bill 86, almost all abortions would be prohibited, with very narrow exceptions for the health of the woman and fetus: when necessary to save the life of the woman or prevent substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function, other than a psychological condition, or when the procedure is necessary to ensure the viability of another fetus shes carrying.
Swansons Texas Physician Abortion Ban is one of several anti-abortion measures filed for consideration during the 30-day special session called by Governor Greg Abbott, which began Tuesday. Abbott included three anti-abortion measures on his list of 20 must-pass agenda items that failed in the regular session. Swansons legislation did not make the list, but critics still fear legislative maneuvers and loopholes could give anti-abortion proposals outside the agenda a chance to pass the Republican-controlled Lege.
At a Texas Tribune event Wednesday, Representative Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler, suggested that the sunset bill extending the operation of the Texas Medical Board is a great vehicle for pro-life measures, according to anti-abortion lobbyist Emily Horne.
