Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott issued two opinions regarding the practice of abortion in Texas that significantly increase protections for the health and safety of women. In response to requests for opinions, Abbott ruled that abortion facilities that perform medical abortions (using chemicals such as using RU 486 instead of surgical methods), must obtain an abortion facility license. Abbott also ruled that abortion facilities may not use a prerecorded telephone message to furnish information the law requires an abortion doctor to provide “orally by telephone or in person" to a woman 24 hours before the abortion, including the medical risks of the abortion.
