The post-House Bill 2 world is decidedly bleak for women in need of legal abortion care, but today there's a bit of good news for those women: Planned Parenthood's South Austin surgical center is back in business.
That's the word from Sarah Wheat, vice president of community affairs for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, which operates abortion and family-planning clinics from Dallas to Austin.
The South Austin clinic, one of the state's handful of surgical centers able to perform abortions up to 20 weeks, had to cease providing legal abortion care on Oct. 31, the day two provisions of the controversial HB 2 took effect, after an appeals court lifted a court order that had blocked their implementation.

But today, the bright spot of news: As of today, the doctor at the South Austin Planned Parenthood facility has secured privileges and the clinic is ready and able to provide safe and legal care, Wheat said.
