A Texas law banning most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy went into effect earlier this month.

But clinics are feeling strained.
Adrienne Mansanares, chief experience officer for Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, joined us to talk about how the Texas law is impacting abortion care in Colorado and across the West.
