Relating to prohibitions on the manufacture and provision of abortion-inducing drugs, including the jurisdiction of and effect of certain judgments by courts within and outside this state with respect to the manufacture and provision of those drugs, and to protections from certain counteractions under the laws of other states and jurisdictions; authorizing qui tam actions.

Summary

The Woman and Child Protection Act adds Chapter 171A to the Health and Safety Code, making it illegal to make, ship, prescribe, or otherwise provide abortion‑inducing drugs in Texas, with limited exceptions. Enforcement is limited to private qui tam lawsuits; the state itself may not bring or support such actions. The law also shields Texas actors from out‑of‑state “clawback” suits and sets procedural rules for these private actions.
