Lenzi Sheibel President Of Fund Texas Choice
It has become increasingly difficult this year to get an abortion in Texas. According to the New York Times, in 2013 the number of clinics in Texas was 41 but in 2014 it is down to 20 after Texas passed a series of laws requiring all abortion facilities to have admitting privileges at local hospitals as well as maintain the same expensive standards as an ambulatory care center. For more on this we are joined by Lenzi Sheible the president and founder of Fund Texas Choice. Lenzi was profiled in the New York Times on Saturday, and she joins us from from Austin, Texas.
