While a rule change by the Food and Drug Administration on abortion medication has led to an increase in legal medical (medication-induced, not surgical) abortions in Texas, that doesn't mean that women still aren't heading south of the border to terminate their pregnancies. 

According to an National Public Report report, simplified FDA rules on the regimen of abortion drugs (misoprostol and mifepristone) that allows women to take them later in their pregnancy has given those seeking an end to pregnancy a bit more leeway in doing so despite Texas's strict anti-abortion laws. And while sales of the two drugs are up in the state, so is the number of women crossing the border into Mexico — where misoprostol is available without a prescription and for perhaps a tenth of the price. 

In its Texas Omnibus Abortion Bill, currently before the Supreme Court, the state imposes numerous conditions, including that, whether an abortion is surgical or medically induced, it must be done at a clinic. In addition, the law particularly specified that all guidance provided by the FDA must be strictly followed.
