Traveling out of Texas to get an abortion? You might see your provider on your flight.
“When one provider in one part of the country is unable to offer services, or is affected, that echoes throughout the region, because there are just far too few providers,” said Emily Wales, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, which serves Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.in September 2021, Planned Parenthood clinics in Oklahoma saw a flood of patients from Texas “almost overnight,” Wales said.
According to Sarah Wheat, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, birth control services, STI screening and women’s wellness exams have always been the organization’s bread and butter, even when abortion services were still available. In fact, Planned Parenthood’s Austin clinics have seen an uptick in patients since adding more hours last year. From January to June 2023, 5,781 patients and counting have visited a clinic, compared to 5,010 during the same period in 2022.
Although Whole Woman’s Health no longer operates locations in Texas, the former clinics’ phones are still active — and they ring with calls from Texans who want abortions. Miller says some don’t know they can’t get one in Texas anymore. Others do and are hoping for advice about where to turn.
