How Texas' 6-week abortion ban will make accessing the procedure nearly impossible for some
CNN
Access to abortion was curtailed significantly in Texas on Wednesday, with the state's extreme and novel ban on abortions at six weeks going into effect.
Clinics across the state -- the second most populous in the country -- drastically limited their services, as the law prohibits physicians from conducting the procedure when a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is often before a woman knows she is pregnant. Whole Woman's Health, which operates four clinics in Texas, is offering abortion services "only if no embryonic or fetal cardiac activity is detected in the sonogram," according to a spokesperson, and several other providers also are taking that limited approach.More Related News
