How a Texas clinic raced to provide abortion care before law went into effect
ABC News
Whole Woman's Health clinics in Texas scrambled to provide abortion care before the most restrictive law since Roe went into effect at midnight.
As the clock ticked toward midnight, staff at an abortion clinic in Texas rushed to provide service for their patients while they still legally could. "Honestly, there was no rhythm. There was no rhyme. It was a pure push to get everyone that walked in that door yesterday completed before 11:59 p.m.," Marva Sadler, Whole Woman's Health director of clinical services, told ABC News. Sadler was at the Whole Woman's Health location in Fort Worth until midnight Tuesday assisting the push to serve patients before the most restrictive abortion law in decades went into effect. While she said she felt proud to be able to provide care for the patients Tuesday night, when she returned to the office early Wednesday, that feeling "was immediately replaced by the thought that we were going to come in this morning and have to turn so many women away," Sadler said.More Related News
