Amy Hagstrom Miller, chief executive of Whole Woman’s Health, a reproductive health provider that offers abortions, told The Texas Tribune in March that it cost $300 per square foot, or more than $1.5 million, to set up the ambulatory surgical center her group operates in San Antonio. It costs $137,000 a month to run the ambulatory surgical center, compared with $90,000 a month to run an abortion clinic, she said. And abortions, which are performed with local anesthesia and without an incision, cost $1,277 on average when performed in an ambulatory surgical center, compared with $540 on average in an abortion clinic, she said. - www.texastribune.org
