Texas tries to stitch a safety net without Planned Parenthood

In 2011, the Texas state legislature cut Planned Parenthood out of one family-planning program and revamped the way another program hands out funds, placing private clinics like Planned Parenthood at the bottom of the list.

Last month, Governor Greg Abbott said he would block the organization from participating in all Medicaid programs in the state.

Legislators also imposed a welter of expensive new regulations on abortion clinics, forcing many of them to close.

That’s why we voted for him.

Want it another way? There are 56 other states.

Exactly. Don’t like Texas and its policies? Then move to Illinois, CA, NJ, or NY. And good riddance to bad rubbish.

The “welter of expensive new regulations” seemed to be related to real health issues to me.

Sounds like the author favors NO restrictions. So should I be able to perform surgery in my back yard with a Swiss Army knife ?
