Starting Tuesday, the nation’s largest abortion chain, Planned Parenthood, will not be taking tax dollars from Texas anymore.

Texas leaders have been trying to defund Planned Parenthood from the state Medicaid program for years, and, in November, they won a victory in court.
Now their efforts finally are coming to fruition.
Medicaid is the largest stream of taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood, and, in Texas, that funding will be cut off starting Tuesday, Breitbart reports.
Jennifer Allmon, executive director of the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops, celebrated the news. She said Texans have much better options for health care than abortion groups.
“There are hundreds of providers throughout the state of Texas willing to serve poor women with authentic healthcare services that are not also peddling abortion,” Allmon said. “The Texas Pregnancy Care Network has a list of such providers throughout the state and if these providers do not accept Medicaid, they can make referrals to life-affirming Medicaid providers who can offer genuine healthcare to women in need.”
The positive effect (if this stands) is that it will make a few people feel better.
But will it have any effect on abortions in Texas ? Not one iota
Will it save Texas money ? nope. It may lose them money.

The only real effect is that it will make things tougher on po people. Big deal, hey ?
Abortions in the 21st Century is ludicrous. But thank you for your class warfare that only poor people get abortions.

Medicaid IS for poor people. The Texas ruling was about Medicaid (again, poor people)  It had nothing to do with abortion.

Roe is the law of the land. Abortion is as "ludicrous" after the ruling as it was before. And it will remain that way until folks like you grow a pair and do something real about abortion. Until then, this is just another cynical attempt at restricting Americans their constitutional rights

But will still perform their God annointed and patriotic duty of providing health services to mostly poor women.

Something Texas now doesn't have the compassion to do.
