A women's health clinic in Austin, Texas, has received dozens of requests for permanent sterilizations after Friday's decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that established a constitutional right to an abortion.
After the Women's Health Domain closed Friday evening for the weekend, it received 109 new patient requests, most of which were requesting tubal ligation, or permanent sterilization.
Dr. Tyler Handcock, an OB-GYN who runs the practice, told Insider he was in disbelief, as the clinic has been open for only about a month.
