But the Texas ban was more explicit. Paxton prohibited clinics from providing “any type of abortion that is not medically necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother.” Across the state, all abortion appointments have been canceled, including those for medical abortions, when the patient takes two different pills. Texas providers, including Planned Parenthood and Whole Woman’s Health, filed a lawsuit Wednesday night against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), hoping the courts will issue a stay, allowing abortions to continue during litigation. It’s unclear whether Mississippi’s only clinic will continue to perform abortions.
