Texas' right wing establishment has waged war on abortion and abortion  providers for many years. In 2013, Texas HB 2 closed 23 abortion clinics  and led to an 11 hour filibuster by State Senator Wendy Davis and mass  occupation of the state capital by pro-choice protestors. Earlier this  year, the passage of SB 8 put bounties on anyone associated with  providing an abortion. Texas abortion providers have already been  preparing for escalated legal action and criminalization of the  practice. Now with the likely overturning of Roe vs. Wade, that is  becoming more real.   
Bob and Scott host Candice Bernd (@candicebernd), Senior Editor and  Reporter at Truthout, about her new article "Texas Abortion Funds Work  to Reduce Looming Harms of Post-“Roe” Criminalization."   
We discuss the recent history of Texas' war against abortion. What  providers are doing to support those needing it. How local pro-choice  politicians are dealing with state and federal repression. And the  inevitable right wing backlash.   
Candice Bernd is senior editor/staff reporter at Truthout.
