Texas legislators on Thursday passed a bill that aims to clarify when doctors are allowed to perform an abortion in order to save a pregnant woman’s life, after years of outcry from medical providers and maternal health advocates.

The Texas House on Thursday passed Senate Bill 33, which aims to prevent local governments from using tax money to support people who leave the state to find abortion care. The bill will need final approval from the state Senate before heading to Gov.
