Under Sec. 151.002 of the Texas Family Code, a physician-patient relationship is established between a child born alive after an abortion and the physician who performed or attempted to perform the abortion. The physician must exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious physician would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.
If you believe a physician is in violation of this provision you may file a complaint (see button below), or you may call the Texas Attorney General’s office at 1-844-584-3006, or send us an email at [email protected].
