A Planned Parenthood clinic in Houston has turned into a "crisis center" in the days after the most restrictive abortion law in the nation went into effect in Texas, with women desperate and begging for care, a distraught staffer told ABC News. "People don't know where to go," Doris Dixon, who oversees patient access at the clinic, said in an emotional interview Friday with Rachel Scott for "Good Morning America." As of Wednesday, physicians in Texas are banned from providing abortions once they detect a fetal heartbeat, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy -- before many women even know they're pregnant. The same day the law went into effect, one woman came in for a regular checkup at the Planned Parenthood clinic, Dixon said. During her checkup, she found out she was five-and-a-half weeks pregnant -- still eligible for a legal abortion. But that same day, she also tested positive for COVID-19. By the time her mandated self-isolation will end, she'll be too far along in her pregnancy to get an abortion under the new Texas law, Dixon said. "To hear her beg for someone to help her was hard, she was begging," Dixon said. "For me, I was trying very hard not to cry but the tears were coming down, they were there." Out-of-state clinics anticipate a surge in patients due to the law, which has increased the average miles a Texan must drive one-way to seek an abortion from 12 miles to 248, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights organization. Dixon said some women she's spoken to don't have the financial means or the access to child care to travel out of state for an abortion. "I'm angry.

I don't have any words.
Sorry, auto-excerpt didn’t do paragraphs.
Twelve miles to get one?
I imagine people could leave Texas, if they really wanted to.
To loosely borrow from Sam Kinison. If you want an abortion, then MOVE to where the abortion clinics are.
Houston to Lake Charles LA, 145 miles, 2 hours 14 minutes.
Plenty of people drive farther within Texas for their abortions.
Do I need a sarc tag?
Anyone who believes one word of Doris Dixon’s story is a gullible fool.
Not buying it. This story is just too convenient.
What’s the odds the very 1st day of the new law going into effect that a 5 1/2 week along woman gets her “regular check up” and tests covid positive the same day.
Help them with what?
If you get my drift...
The Lamborghini dealerships are dependent upon planned parenthood sale of baby parts
Bet 99.9% of PP abortions will show they were done at one day short.

or the access to child care to travel out of state for an abortion.
Ah, the old abortion is child care philosophy of satan and his minions
Does PP do a “regular checkup”? And if it was a regular checkup, why the pregnancy test? This story doesn’t sound right.
Also, did the mom or dad of this baby use contraceptives or just roll the dice and see what happens?
Begging Satan. There fixed it
Nobody could hear the baby begging for help....
“1. The same day the law went into effect, one woman came in for a regular checkup at the Planned Parenthood clinic, Dixon said.
2. During her checkup, she found out she was five-and-a-half weeks pregnant — still eligible for a legal abortion.
3. But that same day, she also tested positive for COVID-19. By the time her mandated self-isolation will end, she’ll be too far along in her pregnancy to get an abortion under the new Texas law, Dixon said.”
1. Who goes to PP for a “regular” checkup? Checkup of what?
2. During a routine annual physical, a pregnancy test is not performed unless the patient or doctor has a reason to perform one.
So was she there for a regular pregnancy check?
3. AND she’s Covid +.
What are the odds of all of this happeningON THE DAY THAT THE LAW WENT INTO EFFECT?
With Dr./Patient confidentiality, there is no way to expose this as a lie. She can say anything that she wants. I’m surprised that the patient was not a trans incest rape victim…
Will the democrats also target the babies who will be born instead of aborted? Will they want label them as non-citizens because they should not have been born? It might sound crazy now, but they are democrats.
All the law does is require a woman to exercise the bare minimum in personal responsibility -- using contraception or the morning after pill -- before the baby has a heartbeat and arms and legs.
Its 1546 miles by car, Houston to LA.
And by Air probably longer than 2 and a quarter hours.
