In the U.S., 27 cities are considered “abortion deserts” – where the lack of an abortion clinic forces women to venture at least 100 miles for care.
Texas – home to a slew of draconian state restrictions – had 10 of these cities well before SB 8 took effect, giving it the most abortion deserts in the country, according to research from the University of California, San Francisco’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health. The first-of-its-kind study, published in 2018, found that four of the top five abortion deserts — Lubbock, Midland, Odessa and Amarillo — were in Texas. In each, women had to trek up to 300 miles for care.
