Texas women now forced to drive 4 times farther because of anti-abortion laws

And that’s what they want to do–make it so inconvenient that women stop having abortions.
Researchers with the Texas Policy Evaluation Project (TxPEP)…have already found that some women had to wait as much as three weeks longer for an appointment. Some women they’ve interviewed weren’t able to secure an abortion at all, due to the logistical and financial barriers.
Now, TxPEP has published a significant study, in the American Journal of Public Health, on the effects of HB2, the omnibus anti-abortion bill that the Court could end up partially striking down. The study shows just how many burdens were placed on women as a result of the clinics closed by the law.
