If you are pregnant and a resident of Texas, the recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that changes a previous Court ruling (Roe v. Wade) affects you. The Court has now determined that there is no longer a constitutional right to abortion.
Abortion law in Texas is that abortion is banned after approximately 6 weeks of pregnancy and that any abortion by medication must be provided in person and not by telehealth.
This means that abortion will not be available, or be very limited, in Texas.
What can I do?
As a Texas pregnant woman with an unexpected, unwanted, or untimely pregnancy what can you do?
Your options may include including:
(1) traveling to a state where an abortion may be possible;
(2) carrying the pregnancy and raising the child either yourself or with the birthfather, or letting the father raise the child;
(3) having a family member or friend raise the child;
(4) placing the child in the Texas foster care system; or
(5) consider placing the baby for adoption.
Since 1985, our licensed not-for-profit agency, Adoption Services (www.adoptionservices.org), has completed almost 900 successful placements of babies with loving families. Our Agency can, and will help you, find the perfect family to adopt your baby.
