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.
