217. Pro-Life
Until the abolition of abortion is achieved, we support laws that restrict and regulate abortion, including but not limited to:
a. Parental and informed consent, including the elimination of judicial bypass.
b. Prohibition of licensing, liability, and malpractice insurance for abortionists and abortion facilities.
c. Prohibition of financial kickbacks for abortion referrals.
d. Prohibition of late-term abortions.
e. Prohibition of abortions after the time an unborn child's heartbeat is detected.
f. Prohibition of the manufacturing and sale of abortifacients.
g. Elimination of causes of action for 'wrongful birth'.
h. Health insurance coverage for abortion services and abortifacients, which under Texas law shall be considered supplemental coverage and billed to the beneficiary.
i. Criminal penalties be attached to any entity convicted of selling body parts of aborted children or, excluding the mother, of conducting an illegal abortion.
j. Extend the private cause of action used in the Texas Heartbeat Act to all pro-life laws and policies in Texas.
