There was a fantastic segment on NPR that I heard back in January. I don't know if this article covers all of it, but it looks like it does the job.

Healthcare for low income Texan women is a disaster now because the GOP only saw to the we need to stop Planned Parenthood at all costs, disregarding all of the other people it would affect.

A clinic who solely provides abortion in pill form does not need to have hallways large enough for two surgical tables to pass. They're rules solely meant to make clinics shut down because they cannot possibly afford the changes they need to make in order to remain open.

You cannot at once claim the government has "no role in providing healthcare" when these laws were passed under the guise of "protecting women's health."
