FROM Erica Hellerstein
To the Point
Could Texas Become Nearly Abortion-Free? Access to abortion is already limited to 20 or so clinics in Texas. Now a federal court ruling could close down even more. Yesterday, in Whole Woman’s Health v. Lakey , the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of abortion limits in the Lone Star State — partly on the ground that women in Texas can drive to another state. We hear more from Mark Jospeh Stern, who covers legal affairs and LGBT issues for Slate.com , and investigative reporter Erica Hellerstein of Think Progress , who covered abortion access at the US-Mexico border.
