I'm at least a 4th generation Texas. I left in 1988 and moved to California.

I've visited several times (in fact, I'm in Dallas now working with/for a good friend who has a small business). It's HEARTBREAKING to see what's happening here.

I hope this woman has gone to another state for her necessary procedure. New Mexico is about eight hours away by driving and about 1 1/2 hours by plane. She lives in North Texas (where Dallas is). New Mexico is the closest state that allows abortions.
