re: #543 lawhawk

Women in Texas about to see their health adversely affected as state cuts back its funding of Planned Parenthood.

Real effects - more women who have to endure long waits for care (if they can get it at all due to costs); fewer screenings for cervical and breast cancer resulting in missed early detection and diagnosis that can reduce health care costs considerably); and all sorts of unintended consequences.

And in the end - it’s still anti-women and against health care provision for women.

By the way, this was foretold by moderatelyradicalliberal:

You know what? FUCK THE GOP! Fuck those woman hating bastards. Everyone of them. In my home state of Texas, the GOP is set to kill a program that funds preventative care and contraception for thousands of poor and low income women because the Federal Govt which funds 90% of the program allows these women to go to Planned Parenthood to get services. Half of the women who come to the clinic where I work for OB/GYN services are on this program. We may have to close are OB/GYN department. If I were that little boy in that old Twilight Zone episode, I’d wish everyone elected GOP official into the corn field. Without finding for an annual pap smear they have literally told these women to drop dead. If I had the power I would tell them to do the same. I have been offended to the core of my being by these people.
