Relating to exceptions to laws prohibiting abortion.

HB 1220 adds exceptions to Texas' abortion prohibitions for specific cases. It allows physicians to perform abortions during the third trimester if the pregnant person is 35 years or older, has a high-risk medical condition (as determined by a physician), or the pregnancy resulted from in vitro fertilization. These exceptions apply across multiple sections of the Health and Safety Code, including prohibitions on abortions for viable fetuses (Section 170.002), partial-birth abortions (Section 171.102), and restrictions on abortion-inducing drugs (Section 171.063). The bill directly affects medical providers and clinics by modifying when they may legally perform abortions under existing state law.
