Since the Texas ban took effect, a Louisiana clinic has seen Texans grow from 20 to 60 percent of its patients. Texans are 20 percent of an Arkansas clinic’s patients—up from 1 percent. Clinics in Seattle, Las Vegas, and Portland have all seen more Texans.

"We’re not hearing from them when they say, 'As it turns out, I couldn’t get care and now I’m being forced to carry a pregnancy against my will.’”

Next year, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on a case that could overturn Roe v. Wade. If Roe goes, just 13 states would become "destination states" for abortion patients, per a recent analysis.
