End of Life Rules Divide Texas Right to Life Groups
A legislative clash in Texas pits right to life factions against each other over the Texas Advance Directive Act of 1999. One camp seeks indefinite treatment forcing doctors and hospitals to continue care, while opponents urge a balanced extension of patient care with physician conscience rights. House Bill 1464 would remove time limits on finding another facility, and House Bill 1444 would extend but not compel continued feeding and hydration, with backing from the Texas Medical Association and others. The debate highlights a rare split within the influential right-to-life lobby ahead of Republican primaries.
