Texas ‘Wrongful Birth’ Bill Advances to the State Senate

The Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs unanimously voted this week to advance Senate Bill 25, which would prevent parents from suing doctors on the basis of a “wrongful birth,” the San Antonio Current reported. In other words, the parents of a severely disabled child would no longer be able to sue doctors if they felt they were not properly informed about the extent of their child's disability or advised on their options, abortion included.
