This has got to be a joke. Texas posted the highest private-sector job growth of any of the 50 states, and the unemployment rate is 7.1%


I don't know why a Christian would encourage someone to live off the fed. I would encourage anyone looking for work to check it out, down there. But C.T.Boy is right. If yer looking to start 6 generations of welfare families, Texas might not be the place to go.

It is against Planned Parenthood not women's health. It is very dishonest to suggest otherwise.

How can cutting non-abortion services to 130,000 poor women not be considered an act against women. No more cancer screenings for these women, no more medical advice, no more medical help? How is this not against women and especially poor women?

You say you are pro life, what about the lives of these women, some of whom will die because services are not available to them?

Matthew 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

Hogwash. PP is not the only organization women can turn to.

It's simple. Stop using federal funds for abortions and keep the clinics. but PP doesnt want to agree to that.

BTW, medicaid will pay for women to get screenings, contrception and treatment from private doctors without going to PP, so they are losing nothing if PP is closed except taxpayer funded abortions.

Good riddance planned parenthood.

The Republican controlled state government says they will shut down the entire program if necessary. That will cut out all services to these women.

There are others who are pushing for the State to fund the program as they say it will cost more to shut it down than to continue it.

Not true in this case, according to the article.

Last month, federal officials withdrew Medicaid funding for the program, finding the state rule broke federal law by preventing women from choosing the best available medical provider.

If you are going to take Federal money you have to abide by Federal rules.

You are twisting the truth here

The Republicans will shut down the entire program if the taxpayer funded abortions are not stopped. but they are only shutting down PP, not medicaid!!!! Women will still have medicaid to go to a private doctor.

And, yes, the will cut off medicaid money to PP but not to the other providers. Why are are you trying to project the lie that all care for women will cease without PP? Private doctors are available now...just not taxpayer funded abortions

Women will still have the same access to medical care as before...it just wont be through PP.

About 130,000 women will lose Medicaid coverage after the federal government notified Texas that because of its decision to block Planned Parenthood from receiving funds, it can no longer collect $39 million for the Women’s Health Program in the state. The decision was announced on Thursday, according to the Washington Post.

They will loose all federal Midicaid funding ... thus these women will loose all services.

Kaiser Health News: Capsules: Feds Drop Texas Women's Health Program
The federal government told Texas today that it would be dropping the state from the Medicaid Women's Health Program. Until now, federal Medicaid dollars had paid for 90 percent of the costs to help poor Texas women get gynecological exams, cancer screenings and contraception. Federal Medicaid director Cindy Mann says Texas will be dropped because Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, insisted on rules that excluded Planned Parenthood from the program

http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/dai...es-texas-medicaid-and-planned-parenthood.aspx

The Department of Health and Human Services announced on Thursday that it will cut off all Medicaid funding for family planning to the state of Texas, following Gov. Rick Perry's (R) decision to implement a new law that excludes Planned Parenthood from the state's Medicaid Women's Health Program.

Cindy Mann, director of the Center for Medicaid and State Operations (CMSO), wrote Texas health officials a letter on Thursday explaining that the state broke federal Medicaid rules by discriminating against qualified family planning providers and thus would be losing the entire program, which provides cancer screenings, contraceptives and basic health care to 130,000 low-income women each year.

"We very much regret the state's decision to implement this rule, which will prevent women enrolled in the program from receiving services from the trusted health care providers they have chosen and relied upon for their care," she wrote. "In light of Texas' actions, CMS is not in a position to extend or renew the current [Medicaid contract]."

The federal government pays for nearly 90 percent of Texas' $40 million Women's Health Program, and nearly half of the program's providers in Texas are Planned Parenthood clinics. But the new law that went into effect earlier this month disqualified Planned Parenthood from participating in the program because some of its clinics provide abortions, even though no state or federal money can be used to pay for those abortions.

According to Medicaid law, Mann said, a state cannot restrict women's ability to choose a provider simply because that provider offers separate services -- in this case, abortion -- that aren’t even paid for by the Medicaid program.

Why is Planned nonParenthood waging this war on women by insisting on waging a war on the unborn rather than providing real healthcare services?

As was pointed out they will only loose this funding because they insist on murdering the unborn.

Another double standard.

Post after post, you pointed out how names were called such as "those with low morality"
(which was not the truth in the first place), by those who criticize Romney for being pro abortion, and in this post, you turn right around and call a group that is in favor of abortion "those who insist on murdering the unborn." Now which side are you going to take? Not only which side are you going to take, what gives you the right to call out others for calling names and turn right around and do it?

I am against abortion and at the same time I am pro life in caring for the health of women.

I do not follow the Republican philosophy this it is terrible to kill an unborn fetus, but it is all right to kill poor women by not providing health care for them.

Are you in favor of allowing poor women to die?

And abortion is only a small part of Planned Parenthood. Many of their clinics do not provide abortions.

Irrelevant. Abortion is their raison d'etre. All else is smoke and mirrors. Planned Parenthood exists to kill women. Half of aborted children are female.

Where Republicans are working (albeit feebly) to make it easier for families to raise their children, half of whom are female, they are accused of waging a war on women. And where Planned Parenthood is cutting tiny girls into pieces, they're for women and women's health?

Next you'll be telling us Hitler was merely cleansing Germany.

How is it helping the family and women if the mother dies because the medical services that would have saved her have been eliminated?

Why is the life of an unborn fetus more important than the life of a living woman?

Actually I called YOU out on accusing MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD as having "low morals" and of having "sold their soul" for simply speculating about voting for Romney.

While simultaneously endorsing Santorum who endorsed Romney - and now it seems that you yourself may be considering voting for Romney.

All I can say is "Wow".

, and in this post, you turn right around and call a group that is in favor of abortion "those who insist on murdering the unborn." Now which side are you going to take? Not only which side are you going to take, what gives you the right to call out others for calling names and turn right around and do it?

Actually this group is not merely "in favor of abortion" as you so mildly say - but actually perform abortions, campaign for women to have abortions, use our tax dollars to perform abortions, and now are holding legitmate health care services in hostage in order to continue the same.

I know that your feelings are hurt because you were called out on your inappropriate accusations against fellow board members (ie "low morals" and "sold your soul") and I applaude your recent apology tour and hope that you will be able to mature enough to get over it.

I can only hope though - the work is up to you.

The double standard was not addressing your post. That is why I put a quote in almost all my posts.
