First, know that abortion in Texas is illegal except in cases of life endangerment. This means that, in most cases, women cannot have an abortion in the state.

This means that if you seek the abortion pill, you would need to travel out-of-state and pay for the abortion out-of-pocket. Other expenses, including transportation, lodging, childcare, follow-up visits, and any emergency care, may be required.
