Texas Women’s Clinics Cease Abortions Under Court Ruling

Texas women’s clinics in five cities will stop providing abortions after a U.S. appeals court temporarily allowed enforcement of a law requiring doctors who perform the procedure have local hospital admission privileges.
Whole Woman’s Health, a gynecological services provider with six locations in the state, said facilities in McAllen and Fort Worth would no longer perform abortions, and abortions at its San Antonio facility will be curtailed. Planned Parenthood Federation of America said its clinics in Austin, Lubbock, Waco and Fort Worth have also ceased offering the procedure.
