Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Planned Parenthood released data in February showing that, in the first four months after S.B. 8 took effect, more than half of the patients at their Oklahoma health centers were from Texas, compared to less than 10% in the prior year.
51% : The plaintiffs in Whole Woman's Health v. Jackson include Whole Woman's Health; Whole Woman's Health Alliance; eleven Planned Parenthood health centers throughout the state; Southwestern Women's Surgical Center; Austin Women's Health Center; Alamo Women's Reproductive Services; Houston Women's Reproductive Services; Dr. Allison Gilbert and Dr. Bhavik Kumar, who provide abortion services; Reverend Erika Forbes and Reverend Daniel Kanter, who provide emotional and spiritual counseling and support to patients considering abortion; the Afiya Center; Frontera Fund; Fund Texas Choice (FTC); Jane's Due Process; Lilith Fund; the TEA Fund; and Marva Sadler, Senior Director of Clinical Services at Whole Woman's Health.
45% : This ban does not change the need for abortion in Texas, it just blocks people from accessing the care they need.
42% : Over and over again the courts have failed Texans, who have been stripped of their fundamental right to abortion for more than six months now.
41% : Today, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that Whole Woman's Health v. Jackson - once the most promising lawsuit against Texas' ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy (S.B. 8) - cannot proceed against the Texas Medical Board and other similar state licensing officials, the only remaining defendants in that challenge.
40% : Despite the extraordinary efforts of abortion funds and practical support organizations, all too many Texans ultimately lack the resources or mobility to access abortion at great distances from home and thus face the devastating consequences of unwanted pregnancy.
34% : That means by the end of March, abortion may be banned after 6 weeks in Oklahoma -- a state where many Texans have been traveling to find abortion services.
31% : An unconstitutional ban on abortion after six weeks continues unchecked in the state of Texas.
