The Texas Democratic Committee has a lot of work to do. The options open to women have been effected by the dialogue in Texas. Women need to know they have support of their legislators. They need to know where to and how to obtain an abortion.
There are no movements to promote abortion. That is not the issue at all. Abortions are personal choices women have to make. It is not a frivolous choice. Anyone I am familiar with take the pregnancy seriously, but, they also take their choices seriously. A baby comes with responsibility a woman may not be able to provide. Adoption is not necessarily an option that is valued for many reasons.
Abortion is an option some women value and there is no substitution for it. Women cannot lead lives of desperation, they must lead a life with options. This Supreme Court seems to understand the human condition and respect it. The USA laws don't provide for ONLY abortion or ONLY adoption. The Constitution provides choice of which liberty is found. A woman's body is her own under the US Constitution.
There needs to be an outreach to the women of Texas to provide insight to their options and to realize their lives are not desperate, but, empowered.
I might also point out the interim decisions were meaningless in the final decision by the court.

The Supreme Court (click here) has overturned a Texas law requiring clinics that provide abortions to have surgical facilities and doctors to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The law was predicted to close many clinics and further reduce availability of abortion in Texas; the court has ruled the law violated the Constitution.By Camila Domonoske
With a 5-3 decision in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, the court reversed a decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which had upheld the law.
