“The Supreme Court’s action today brings us one step closer to the restoration of Texans’ constitutional rights and an end to the havoc and heartache of this ban...” —Nancy Northup, Center president and CEO
“We are enormously disappointed that the Court has left the law in effect for now, forcing those with means to leave the state to access constitutionally protected abortion services and leaving others with no options at all...” —Nancy Northup, Center president and CEO
"However, we are confident that when the Court ultimately rules in these cases, it will reject the state of Texas’ cynical ploy to enact a brazenly unconstitutional abortion ban.” —Nancy Northup, Center president and CEO
❗In the 52 days since #SB8 took effect, abortion access has been decimated in #Texas, but Texans have not stopped needing and seeking abortion care. #BansOffOurBodies
❗Clinics in neighboring states have reported huge upticks in patients traveling from Texas. An Oklahoma clinic reported that two-thirds of the phone calls they’ve received since #SB8 took effect are from Texas patients.
This law must be stopped for good. #BansOffOurBodies
