Texas was the first state to recognize wrongful birth legal actions, according to a presentation the advocacy group Texas Alliance for Life made in support of the proposed law.
The current law has been challenged three times and upheld each time, group members told the state senate’s Health and Human Services Committee.
The group said 28 states recognize this law, but nine have since eliminated it through legislative action.

Joe Pojman, executive director of the Texas Alliance for Life, told Catholic News his organization was “thrilled” with the state Senate’s approval of legislation intended to stop parents from suing doctors if their baby is born with a birth defect that the doctor didn’t warn them about. “It reverses a decades-old injustice and bad public policy that devalues babies, both unborn and born, who have a disability,” Pojman said. “In our view, S.B. 25 eliminates wrongful birth lawsuits while holding doctors accountable to practicing good medicine.”

The abortion chain has a long history of misconduct and violations of Texas health and safety regulations.

Abortion opponents said Republican leaders had promised for years to end federal reimbursement for Planned Parenthood, and that voters would continue to hold them to this. Before winning the presidential election in November, Trump had also promised to defund Planned Parenthood, and fought to get the healthcare bill passed.
“I’m confident the Republicans in Congress and the president will move ahead and defund Planned Parenthood,” said Joe Pojman, executive director of the anti-abortion Texas Alliance for Life.
The issue “is so dear to the electorate who put the Republicans and president in office,” he said after the bill was pulled.
