ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Advocates say the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a Texas law that bans most abortions will likely result in more people coming to New Mexico for the procedure. The state already was among the ones that patients travel to because Albuquerque is home to one of only a few independent clinics in the country that perform abortions in the third trimester.

New Mexico earlier this year adopted legislation to overturn a dormant 1969 ban on most abortion procedures.
