The new legislation, prompted by ProPublica’s reporting, comes after 111 Texas doctors signed a public letter urging that the ban be changed because it “does not allow us as medical professionals to do our jobs.”

I know you're doing a bit, and I'm pro abortion too, but there are exceptions to murder. Famously, self defence.

If you want to be that pedantic, no, self defense is not murder. Killing and murder are two different things. For killing to be murder it has to be legally unjustified.

Yeah that's the point, it's an exception where killing is not murder.
