Every single procedure, every single conversation even, carried the potential of ruining your entire career.
So for Lydia, what feels right is to stay in Texas, keep providing the care that is still allowed, and be a trustworthy medical presence, especially when the landscape has gotten so barren.
This is becoming harder and harder to come by.
Not too far from most places that used to be abortion clinics, you'll find at least one crisis pregnancy center.
Fake clinics, often faith-based, with names like choices, birthright, and next steps.
They lure patients in with promises of free ultrasounds and other services and are notorious for giving false information.
Since Dobbs, Texas now has a near total ban, like Oklahoma.
The punishment for performing an abortion is up to ninety-nine years in prison.
So, people like Lydia and Bavik, they can't provide anymore.
But they each told us that they're trying to continue their activism in their own ways.
Lydia says she wants to open up a new clinic in her town where she can at least provide trustworthy care and accurate medical information to her patients before they have to go somewhere else.
For Bovik, he's just continuing his activism by staying vocal, talking to the press, and providing the care he can, like gender affirming care.
So abortion is no longer legal in Texas.
And since SP8 first passed, the rest of the country has now experienced, in a way, what Texans did all the way back in 2021.
They're no longer chicken little yelling at the rest of the country to listen.
We're all here together.
Next week, we followed a wave that started in Texas and slammed into Oklahoma as it continued its trajectory and crashed right into Kansas.
What happens when a small town abortion clinic becomes the only provider for an entire region of the country?
We hope you'll join us next week.
Until then, this is Post Row America, and I'm Dr.
