Abortion is currently banned in the state of Texas except to preserve the life of the pregnant woman, and in cases where the pregnancy poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function.

This does not affect care for miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies. A woman who obtains an abortion cannot be held criminally or civilly liable. It is illegal to ship abortion inducing drugs into the state of Texas. The FDA does not recommend buying the abortion pill online as it may bypass important safeguards.
