One Big Beautiful Bill Took a Swing at Abortion Access, but Whole Womans Health Is Still Going Strong

The closure of numerous abortion clinics in Texas has severely limited access, leaving patients in Austin with few options. Whole Woman’s Health, one of the last remaining clinics, continues to serve the community despite increasing restrictions. Once, at least 19 clinics provided accessible care across the state, but now many patients must travel long distances, sometimes requiring flights to reach a facility. This change highlights the impact of recent legislative measures aimed at restricting reproductive health services. Whole Woman’s Health’s ongoing operations demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity and a commitment to patient care.

The clinic's location in North Austin, previously surrounded by medical services, emphasizes the stark contrast in accessibility today. The situation reflects a national trend of tightening access to abortion and reproductive rights. Advocacy groups continue to challenge these restrictions, aiming to restore access to essential healthcare services.
