NPR: What Texas’ New Abortion Law Means For The Peak Who Seek And Provide Them

The new abortion law in Texas bans abortions after six weeks and allows citizens to sue any person that is helping a patient get an abortion. For affected patients, those that will be most affected are those who lack the resources such as being unable to travel out of state.
