Texas Abortion Restrictions
Abortions in Texas ceased following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that eliminated the constitutional protection for an abortion.

Birth control and emergency contraceptives, commonly referred to as Plan B, are different from the drugs used to induce an abortion and remain legal.
