Texas Eliminates Planned Parenthood Funding; Disgusting Disdain For Women

The state of Texas announced earlier this week that they were officially ending the federal funding of Planned Parenthood by no longer granting Medicaid funds to the women’s health organization.

Just to be clear, Medicaid provides healthcare coverage to low income families, so this means that the state is not only taking a dig at women, but they’re hitting low-income women exceptionally hard.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

It's been corrupt for a while now...and the Republican voters love it!


Besides, Texas already has at least one federal judge in its pocket...remember the judge who just a few days ago decided that the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution doesn't over ride Texas law?

The GOP is ratcheting up the inflammatory language to justify their outrageous behavior. Some of the poorest and most vulnerable women in Texas will be harmed by this, and some will have their health severely compromised.
