Texas GOP Attacks Planned Parenthood by Banning Them from Medicaid Program
The Republican Party clearly has a national agenda to wage total war against Planned Parenthood.
In Texas today, a Senate subcommittee voted to ban Planned Parenthood from being part of a program that provides health screening for low income women.
That’s not all. The bill also includes a “poison pill” provision that would completely scrap the Women’s Health Program if Planned Parenthood successfully sues to restore their participation.
Planned Parenthood says this bill would immediately deny access to health care for about 40,000 women.
The bill now heads to the Texas Health and Human Services Committee.
This bad craziness is getting out of control, folks. Unless the women’s rights movement starts to show signs of reviving and actually organizing to fight these throwbacks, America’s going to regress to a very dark period of our history.
