This is ridiculous, they don't impose the same requirements on doctors that perform vasectomies. Its just a way to enslave women & make THEIR choice more difficult...

Court Upholds Texas Measures That Imperil Abortion Clinics

A federal appellate court upheld some of the toughest provisions of a Texas abortion law on Tuesday, putting 13 of the state’s abortion clinics at risk of permanently shutting their doors, which would leave the nation’s second-most populous state with eight abortion providers.

The appellate court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in New Orleans, sided for the most part with Texas and the abortion law the Republican-dominated Legislature passed in 2013, known as House Bill 2.

It ruled that Texas can require all abortion clinics in the state to meet the same building, equipment and staffing standards as hospital-style surgical centers. 

Thirteen clinics whose facilities do not meet the new standards could be forced to close, leaving many regions without abortion clinics.
