Episode notes

Administrators at these clinics are just, like, really scared for their staff. They feel very targeted. And it's not just people who work at abortion clinics that could be caught in the cross hairs of this. I talk to a woman monica falkner,. She's been a social worker here in texas for 20 s, and she's worked a lot with rape victims. As a social worker, ethically, my code of ethics would require me to give a client information that they requested. So we're putting ourselves at risk in doing so.

Texas didn't just make it almost impossible to get an abortion, the state made it easy to sue somebody who gets one after about six weeks of pregnancy — and anyone who helps. KUT reporter Ashley Lopez explains.

Today’s show was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, with help from Amina Al-Sadi, Hady Mawajdeg, and Jillian Weinberger, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
