Texas abortion law alarms reproductive justice advocates: They 'put a bounty' on us

Marsha Jones, a Texas native, says she has received many desperate calls from women in the state struggling to access abortions and reproductive care.

They are often young, alone and afraid, she said.

“We're talking about young women who live in some of the most dire communities,” Jones told ABC News, recounting stories of women who came to her for help, including a pregnant teenager whose mother was addicted to drugs and a young woman who was in an abusive relationship.

Jones is the CEO of the Afiya Center in Dallas -- an organization that advocates for Black women and girls. The center provides practical assistance to women seeking abortions by providing funding for sonograms, transportation, childcare, hotels, meals and other services.
