What Texas has done, in regards to abortion providers, is require them to meet certain standards and criteria, which effectively shuts them down.
Some of the required criteria and standards, such as requiring the performing doctor to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, may have some merit. Others, such as mandating the minimum width of a hallway, likely do not.
