Chaffetz shows a graph showing PP cancer screening declining. Texas cut PP funding for it.

A months-long effort to keep Republicans from pushing Planned Parenthood out of a state cancer screening program for low-income women ended in defeat when Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed off on the proposal.

By approving the two-year state budget, Abbott green-lit a provision that will prevent Planned Parenthood from participating in the joint state-federal Breast and Cervical Cancer Services program, which provides cancer screening for poor, uninsured women in Texas. The governor’s endorsement of the provision on Saturday, which was expected, came as Planned Parenthood leaders vowed to maintain their presence in Texas despite lawmakers’ efforts to cut their funding.

“It’s really incredible how low the governor and some of the state legislators will go when you start throwing women out of cancer screening programs and making it impossible for them to continue to go get services where they have before,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in an interview with The Texas Tribune on Saturday.

The story stands on it's own without it and people who dont know where that nonsense graph came from have no context for it.

and your excerpt doesn't mention it at all.

If one were just to read your excerpt and look at the graph they would think the graph was a realistic representation. You excerpt doesnt mention the tool that used the graph or the graph itself.

Try to take your time and separate threads instead of expecting people to have all the info from every thread you make.

If the republicans had an argument, they wouldn't have to lie so much.
