Texas Bill Regarding State Employee Charitable Campaigns (SB 53)

SB 53 would amend eligibility requirements for participation in a state employee charitable campaign to prohibit charitable organizations from directly or indirectly facilitating the procurement of an “elective abortion.”

This would not apply to the termination of a pregnancy:

• that resulted from an act of rape or incest;
• for an individual who suffers from a physical disorder, disability, or illness, that places the individual in danger of death or serious injury; or
• that involves a fetus that has been determined to be incompatible with life outside the womb.
