They tried and failed to get an abortion. Texas family grapples with what it'll mean

Anna drove 40 minutes from her home to pick up free diapers from Tere Haring at Allied Women's Center in San Antonio. Anna, who is pregnant with her seventh child, says she did consider abortion: "All I could think about — like, I need an abortion because there's no way I can deal with everything going on right now and taking care of all the boys by myself and having another baby." (Ilana Panich-Linsman for NPR)

"Have this baby, and I will help you."

For decades, Tere Haring has been making this promise to the pregnant women of San Antonio. She runs a crisis pregnancy center called Allied Women's Center out of a small house a few miles from the city's downtown. Women often come here for free pregnancy tests. When those tests come up positive, Haring and her volunteer staff try to dissuade them from pursuing abortion.
