Line 11: Line 39:
As a major American city, Dallas has an incredible range of medical facilities and providers. Due to federal regulations, contraception is legal, though a prescription is required. Emergency contraception is also legal and no prescription is required; it can be purchased at pharmacies, drug stores and many clinics. However, there have been reported cases of pharmacists refusing to sell emergency contraception due to personal religious or moral beliefs. In general, Texas as a state is largely conservative with a strong religious Christian base. This heavily impacts the political and social climate of the state, and in particular abortion law.

Abortion in Texas became illegal in June 2022. That year, the United States Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, a ruling that formerly protected federal abortion rights.<ref name=":0">https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/3535742-read-the-supreme-court-ruling-overturning-roe-v-wade/</ref> This means that states can determine their own abortion laws. In the state of Texas, a "trigger law" was in place, which meant that abortion would be declared illegal if Roe v. Wade was overturned. Immediately after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton declared that abortion was illegal in the state.<ref name=":1">https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/roe-v-wade-abortion-scotus-supreme-court-ruling-texas-trigger-law-explainer/287-75949629-4a17-4b50-9cea-0810cc5bef69</ref> This total ban was followed after other restrictive measures.

Overall, Dallas is a huge city and Texas is a huge state. This means that, while there are certainly restrictions that impose great difficulty, there are also resources available to people.
