It’s been three years since Texas lawmakers passed the Texas Omnibus Abortion Bill (better known as HB 2), which imposed strict restrictions and requirements on abortion providers, including mandating that doctors performing procedures have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and that clinics meet the same standards as outpatient surgical centers. The bill has already forced more than 40 of Texas’s women's health centers to close and threatens to shutter all but nine of the remaining ones. And now, it’s at the center of the biggest case since Roe v. Wade to tackle the controversial topic of abortion.

The Center for Reproductive Rights, a nonprofit that protects the reproductive freedoms of women, filed a lawsuit in 2014 on behalf of gynecology and abortion care clinic Whole Woman’s Health and other providers in the state who are fighting to squash the restrictive law. The case, known as Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, finally went to the Supreme Court earlier this year, and the eight justices will make an official decision sometime this month.

While women everywhere wait for this historic decision, Teen Vogue talked with Whole Woman’s Health CEO Amy Hagstrom Miller to find out what this process has been like for her and what's at stake for women in the Lone Star State and around the country.

Teen Vogue: What has it been like so far this month, knowing the decision is coming soon?

Amy Hagstrom Miller: We’ve really been in, what we call on the inside of my company, “the age of uncertainty.” It’s been going on for three-and-a-half years at this point, where we’ve been fighting against the law and doing our best to keep whatever clinics open that we can at the same time. But, it’s … been a lot of stress. We try to keep the focus on the patients and try to keep the focus on the women who need us the most, but the uncertainty from my staff about, “Will we have a job?” [and], “Will we be able to keep the clinic open?” can be really hard.

HB 2 didn’t further women’s health and safety, [as stated by the people who passed it], but has instead really damaged women’s abilities to take care of their bodies and access their [legal] rights. So, that tension has been a challenge for us. I think most of my team — myself included — feel really great about standing on the right side of history and about taking a stand against a law that was put forward with so much misinformation.

TV: Do you feel like you know what the Supreme Court will rule?

AHM: We’re actually quite optimistic. I haven’t been optimistic the whole time; I had to sort of disengage myself from being attached to the outcome a while ago in order to really be in it for the long haul. So, part of my [focus] has really been putting the best evidence forward so we can fight the law, but [also taking] all the opportunities we can … to tell the stories of the women we serve. I feel really good about [the fact that] we’ve been able to open the doors to our clinics in an unprecedented way and really show the work we do, and show who we are, and really stand in the light.

When I heard four of the justices basically arguing our case for us, I was just delighted. To hear them say why the law is absurd, why it doesn’t carry forward its stated purpose to benefit women’s health and safety, how it was sort of formed on mistruth … it was just incredibly powerful and has really made us very optimistic that the court is going to rule in our favor.
