SAN ANTONIO — As the frosted-glass window slides open, a dozen heads pop up, all with the same anxious, expectant look. One by one, women are called up to the desk at Alamo Women's Reproductive Services to learn whether and when they can get an abortion.
For months, the clinic has had to be the bearer of bad news, telling clients that they were too far along to terminate their pregnancies in Texas. It doesn't get any easier, employees said, explaining again and again that the state has banned abortions after about six weeks, a point at which many don't even know they are pregnant.
