    Given that money is fungible, isn't every dollar the state gives PP for say, cancer screenings, an extra dollar from other sources that they can apply toward providing abortions (or any other service)?

    The Women's Health Program will continue. The Judge just affirmed Texas' right to withhold funding to anyone affiliated with elective abortions (except Hospitals). It basically says Texas is allowed to withhold money from Planned Parenthood who is the major entity affiliated with abortions. There is still a Women's Health Program, and it still helps economically disadvantaged women.

    It affirms Texas' right to deny funds to any provider of elective abortions or their affiliates, unless the affiliate is a Hospital.

    And here is a picture of an economically disadvantaged woman in Texas, in her hospital room, after being covered by the state's women's health program...

    I don't give a **** what he "wanted" to do ... I only care about what he actually does, and what he just did was take a giant steaming **** on every poor woman in this state.

    LOL, that is ridiculous. The program will still be funded, and will still provide NECESSARY medical procedures. He just denied the Feds blood money.

    No, homeless in China does not correspond to our Women's Health Program in America. Homeless is homeless, but we're not discussing the homeless. We're discussing poor women receiving necessary medical coverage, which they still will receive, just not from Planned Parenthood.

    but she isn't pregnant, so what is it referencing about this thread that isn't about china or homelessness?


    I would guess it is cheaper as a society to offer free abortions to poor women, but too many people feel it is murder to make that a reality. I don't see how not funding them, or funding abortion clinics hurts those not seeking an abortion. If the other clinics become crowded I would think that would be rectified quickly.

    Do you want to talk about withholding funds for abortion or the STD vaccines? If we hadn't withheld funds, PP would still have to abide by any laws passed...

    Btw didn't Perry rescind that mandate like 3 months after that article/video was posted?

    Anyone who thinks Perry has any intention of "making up for the loss of federal funds" to keep the clinic going is truly, genuinely, and without a doubt, abso-****ing-lutely r****ded.
