The fallout of Texas’ new six-week abortion ban and bounty-hunter system has been swift since the law’s implementation on Sept. 1. At least one doctor publicly admitted to providing abortions after the gestational ban, prompting multiple civil lawsuits. But abortion in Texas remains a fraught prospect, and new data obtained by Jezebel shows a dramatic spike in pregnant people fleeing to surrounding states for abortion care.
In September, Planned Parenthood health centers surrounding Texas recorded a 1,082 percent increase in patients with Texas zip codes, compared to the same month in 2020 and 2019, according to data from 29 Planned Parenthood health centers provided to Jezebel. The data draws on patient data collected at clinics in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico, Nevada and Oklahoma from Sept. 1-28.
Neighboring Oklahoma is taking the lion’s share of Texas patients: Planned Parenthood centers in the state saw more than 250 pregnant people with Texas zip codes in September, compared to 30 the same month in 2020 and 2019. But Dr. Kristina Tocce, VP and Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, was more startled by the patients she saw in other states since the law went into effect. “The Texas impact is most impressive in New Mexico and Colorado,” she told Jezebel in an interview.
In September 2019 and 2020, Colorado centers received fewer than 10 patients with Texas zip codes; last month it treated more than 50. New Mexico saw a 48 percent increase in Texas-based patients compared to past Septembers.-

What did one expect from J!zzab3l? There are few outlets that parse out worse information for women than that site.
Well, fine then.
Oh I know is why I had to post. They really drank the cool aid over there.
Totally insane that killing a baby is a right.
Good riddance of women who would kill their own progeny. Hope they stay out.
“Baby killers flee Texas...They have a right to kill...”
I love that one...so true
I’m guessing there is a steady stream of pregnant men fleeing TX in search of an abortion.
To those people..
Well, bye.
They must be pregnant when puppies, dark matter, toasters,... something.
People?
No. No obfuscation. Pregnant WOMEN.
And stay out.
Good, Texas is better off without them.
Sounds like a good thing, if true. No one wants to be around murderers.
“ In September 2019 and 2020, Colorado centers received fewer than 10 patients with Texas zip codes; last month it treated more than 50”
These “people” are “patients” who are being “treated”.
I can understand a pregnant man wanting an abortion. Imagine labor and a 7lb baby going through that canal.
Control the language and you control the agenda.
Jezebel? Has spoken.
The story of Jezebel is about the past and about the future.
Not the same woman, but her effect and punishment are similar. She was referred to as Jezebel in both instances.
Yep.
Look, you do not have to raise the child. You do not even have to see it.
All we are saying is that you may not kill it.
How is that such a big thing?
