The University of New Mexico Center for Reproductive Health is one of only three clinics in the state that perform abortion procedures. The clinic’s doctors say people from Texas make up more than 75% of their patients.

last week, promptly followed by Texas and a growing number of states moving to ban almost all abortions.

Espey said since September, local clinics have provided abortions for more than double the number of patients they would have seen before Texas’ six-week ban. What increased even more was patients more than 14 weeks pregnant, and even more for those between 18 and 20 weeks. Dr. Jennifer Phillips speaks with the team at the UNM Center for Reproductive Health before patients arrive in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Thursday morning.One of the patients was Adriana, who at 23 is the mother of two children, ages 4 years and 7 months.

Based on the timing of her last period, which Adriana acknowledged was irregular since she was still breastfeeding, the mother and clinic staff estimated she would be more than 10 weeks pregnant. But after Truehart scanned her uterus and measured the size of the embryo, she determined Adriana was less than eight weeks along.At eight weeks, she can safely have a medication abortion, Truehart told her, instead of an outpatient procedure.

In Texas, the state’s abortion ban will not allow for exceptions in cases of rape or incest, only allowing an abortion if the pregnant person’s life is in danger.
