Texas passes law urging abortions out of regular clinics

All but 6 Texas abortion clinics will be forced to close following a newly passed abortion ban bill.

The BBC is reporting the Texas senate has passed a bill obliging all abortion procedures to take place at surgical centres, instead of regular clinics.

The bill also will ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The same bill was almost passed in June when Senator Wendy Davis delayed the legislative session with a successful filibuster.
