May 7, 2026 - Texas Clinics Struggle To Reopen

• Many Texas clinics that provide abortions remain closed even after legislation restricting abortions in the state were overturned in 2016, according to KFF Health News. There were more than 40 clinics providing abortion in Texas on July 12, 2013, the day that lawmakers approved new restrictions and rules for clinics. Just 22 clinics are open in mid-2026. Andrea Ferrigno, corporate vice president of Whole Woman’s Health, said that opening is difficult. "It’s basically starting from scratch," Ferrigno said. "You laid off the staff; you don’t have any physicians that work there anymore. Some of the doctors didn’t even renew their physician licenses." Ferrigno said clinics that closed may have lost the state-issued license needed to operate. Applying for a new one is a significant bureaucratic hurdle. Some clinics might have lost their leases and been forced to vacate their buildings and sell off equipment.
• Sixty-three percent of Americans say that abortion should be legal in all or most cases while 36% say it should be illegal in all or most cases, according to the Pew Research Center. In 34 states and the District of Columbia, more people say abortion should be legal than say it should be illegal. Public opinion about abortion has remained relatively stable since the 1970s.

• The government funding landscape for family planning fundamentally changed in 2025, according to healthcare policy research organization KFF. The US federal government, the largest donor to family planning in the world, has instituted significant changes to global health programs including freezing, and then cancelling, most global family planning projects; restricting allowable activities; rescinding family planning funding previously provided by US Congress for 2025; and seeking to eliminate family planning funding in 2026. These actions have significantly driven down disbursements. In addition, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development projects that total international assistance from donor governments will have decreased in 2025 as other large donors to family planning including the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Canada have also signaled reductions in their development assistance budgets.
• Family planning center industry employment and average wages for nonsupervisory employees increased slightly during the first two months of 2026, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
