On Tuesday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill to restrict state funding for abortion insurance.

Life Site News reports the new law will keep Texans from having to pay for elective abortions through their insurance plans.

HB-214, which the House passed last week and the Senate approved Sunday, applies to “elective” abortions and specifically includes an exemption for cases of medical emergency to save the mother’s life.

Gov. Abbott called a special legislative session to focus on the bill, along with another bill to require doctors and health clinics to report abortion complications to the state in greater detail.

That second bill passed both state chambers on Friday.
