Some Texans Are Seeking Abortion Services Elsewhere

In Washington, Democrats in the House are pushing for a bill to make Roe v. Wade a federal law.

In Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado and even as far away as Illinois, clinics around the country are reporting an increase in Texans seeking an abortion. "Our phones have been a lot busier this week, mainly from Texas patients and also from patients that normally would be seen in Texas," said Ashley Brink, clinic director at Wichita Trust Women. "We've had to cap our schedule, we're scheduling out three weeks, until September 21, is the earliest available appointments," said Kailey Voellinger, the Oklaholma City clinic director at Trust Women. "We had a patient call today who was a Texas patient, she had done her ultrasound visit, right in Texas, they have the mandatory ultrasound, 24 hours in advance. She was under six weeks, when they got her back for her procedure, they could hear heart tone, and they had to turn her away right before her surgery."
