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.
A trio of new studies indicate that some people in states that restrict abortion have found other ways to terminate their pregnancies, by traveling out of state or self-managing at home. But these alternatives have not fully compensated for the in-state declines. That state law, which went into effect more than a year ago, led to a precipitous decline in abortions in Texas. The year before, there were about 55,000 abortions in Texas; in the six months after, there were less than 14,000.
Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma, combined, typically saw only 40% of Texas’ annual abortion volume. This leaves many Texans in a vast abortion desert, White said, with the impact felt most acutely by people who are poor, already have children, or are at higher risk of maternal mortality and morbidity, especially Black Texans.
