I'm not a fan of abortion, and I certainly wouldn't be okay if anyone aborted a child I was related to, I am also a Christian, but I'll say this
A lot of people who use "religion" as their guide don't want women using birth control, but if they get knocked up they don't want them getting an abortion, but if they have the kid they also don't want them getting any help from the government.
So what exactly are these women supposed to do?

There are two 5th Circuit cases that, when harmonized, tell you exactly what the 5th Circuit is thinking (panel-wise, not en banc full court).
Texas and Mississippi passed almost the exact same law. Texas' law shut down a few clinics but left several others open. Mississippi's had the effect of shutting down all clinics in the state (they only had one, and all local hospitals in Jackson refused to give the doctors privilege).
The Mississippi law was held unconstitutional because it had the effect of the state shifting a constitutional right onto neighboring states (Mississippi argued that its citizens could just drive to any neighboring states). Texas' law, however, just made it a little more difficult to exercise the right within the state.
In the Texas case, the court is perfectly okay with women having to drive 300+ miles to get an abortion, because they never have to cross a border to do it.
