Texas clinic worker says 70% of the women who called in for abortion care this week were turned down
A worker at a Houston Planned Parenthood clinic told ABC News that about 70% of the women who called for abortion care this week had to be turned down.
On Wednesday, SB 8, or the Texas Heartbeat law, which bans abortions after six weeks - before most women know they're pregnant - went into effect.
A Planned Parenthood news release said 85-90% of Texans who obtain abortions are at least six weeks into pregnancy.
Doris Dixon, who oversees patient access at the clinic, said her clinic has turned into a "crisis center."
