The bill would reclassify mifepristone and misoprostol as Schedule IV substances. Doctors say doing so could cause delays in care during serious medical emergencies.

Texas has one of the worst rates of maternal mortality in the nation. The rate has been increasing across all demographics.

And how OB-GYNs are fleeing the state due to fear of the state’s anti-abortion law.

Since the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v.
