The number of abortions performed monthly in Texas declined from a few thousand to less than 10 after the state implemented a near-total ban on the procedure, according to new data. Story by TexasTribune.
A sign taped to the front of Houston Women’s Clinic on June 24 says the clinic is no longer providing abortions after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.The number of abortions performed monthly in Texas declined from a few thousand to less than 10 after the state implemented a near-total ban on the procedure this summer, new data shows.
One study from national abortion data group #WeCount and the Society of Family Planning found that at least 10,000 people nationally did not obtain in-clinic abortions due to new state bans like the one in Texas. More Texans traveled out of state for abortions after the law went into effect, but that increase didn’t fully balance out the decline in in-state abortions,The UT-Austin study, separate from the #WeCount data, found a 33% decline in abortions obtained by Texans, in state or out of state, in the six months after the six-week ban.
“It was not uncommon to hear that wait times at facilities in neighboring states were three or four weeks away before people could get an appointment,” said lead researcher Kari White. “And we have heard that this could be even longer than that in facilities elsewhere.” “People are going to still have unwanted pregnancies or because of medical reasons need to obtain an abortion,” said White, who also serves on the #WeCount steering committee. “But it is just going to become more burdensome.”
