Texas abortion provider moving to New Mexico
The Hill via Yahoo NewsA Texas abortion provider announced on Wednesday that it would be moving its four clinics to the neighboring state of New Mexico in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
The independent abortion provider, Whole Woman’s Health (WWH), said in a statement announcing the closure of its Texas clinics that it is seeking a clinic site in a border city of New Mexico to provide first- and second-trimester abortions.
The organization has been present in the Lone Star State for nearly 20 years and operated clinics in Austin, McAllen, Fort Worth and McKinney.
They have since launched a GoFundMe to ask for support to relocate to New Mexico, following the high court’s ruling, including to “buy and renovate a building, relocate and hire staff, and set up licenses and certifications in New Mexico.”
A spokesperson for WWH told The Hill that they’re hoping to raise $750,000. As of 10 a.m. on Thursday, they have raised $127,010.
