In the weeks since Texas Senate Bill 8 became law, women seeking an abortion have taken on extra costs — such as paying for travel, arranging for child care or missing work — to get an abortion out of state. Their experiences demonstrate what it will be like for Texans seeking abortions for the foreseeable future, as the nascent fight over the measure’s constitutionality is only just beginning to unfold.
The law bans abortions once cardiac activity is detectable in an embryo, typically four weeks after conception, which is often before many women know they’re even pregnant. It also criminalizes “aiding and abetting” an abortion, which has prompted some providers to shut down services rather than risk being sued.
