Texas is extremely hostile to abortion or legislation to fund matters related to reproductive health.

To be fair, in Texas you can get access to all forms of birth control and family planning except abortions, and even then they're available very early in a pregnancy, in most cases you can get access to these services for free all over the state.

Texas and a lot of more conservative states are hostile to abortions, but hostility to other forms of birth control and family planning are really a myth at this point that was true in a previous era but no longer true at all.

It's somewhat complicated by the issues around the "reproductive health" organizations focusing heavily on minority areas and aggressively promoting abortion and sterilization as a means of controlling poverty growth. There are people on both sides of the issue that don't really like that strategy despite it being very prevalent in traditionally progressive areas/states.
