It is just as difficult to get an abortion in Texas today as it was yesterday, and that will likely be true for a long time to come, providers across the state say.

Mondays Supreme Court ruling striking down obstacles the state had put in the way of doctors and clinics was a huge victory said Amy Hagstrom Miller, founder, president and CEO of Whole Womans Health, the named plaintiff in the suit, but the clinics that closed arent going to reopen overnight. The process will take quite a bit of time.

Three years ago there were 40 abortion providers in Texas. Then, in July of 2013, the Legislature passed a bill known as HB2, which required that doctors performing the procedure have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and that clinics be equipped like ambulatory surgical centers. Once that bill took effect, more than half the Texas clinics closed almost overnight. A series of court fights and injunctions allowed 19 to remain open, and that is the total today. They are sprinkled throughout the sprawling state at such wide intervals that some women have to travel hundreds of miles to obtain an abortion.
