It is about time that state’s started fighting back against the lies and manipulation of Planned Parenthood. This week Texas announced they would be doing just that!
The Washington Post has more:
Texas health officials announced Monday that they were taking steps to end the state’s Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood after the release this year of undercover videos targeting the nonprofit’s fetal tissue donation program.
In letters to all Planned Parenthood affiliates in the state, the state health department’s inspector general said the videos persuaded them that the organization was “no longer capable of providing medical services in a professionally competent, safe, legal, and ethical manner.”
The move would mean that the affiliates would no longer be reimbursed for serving low-income people who are eligible for Medicaid. But similar efforts in other states have been blocked by the federal courts because states are not permitted to pick and choose which organizations may receive reimbursement through the Medicaid program.
Not one more of our hard earned tax-dollars should go towards funding an organization that so blatantly and unapologetically destroys the lives of babies and their mothers.
I am proud of Texas Governor Abbott for his leadership on this! We need more governors to lead boldly like he is right now!
