Morphine Prince 109,984 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 DALLAS/NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Texas on Monday barred Planned Parenthood from receiving state Medicaid money, the latest setback for the women's healthcare provider since it became embroiled in controversy over undercover videos about its handling of fetal tissue.Hours earlier in neighboring Louisiana, a federal judge blocked that state's efforts to cut the group's funding.In a letter to Planned Parenthood clinics statewide, Texas health officials said all funding from Medicaid, the government healthcare program for the poor, was being cut because of what it characterized as program violations captured on the videos."The gruesome harvesting of baby body parts by Planned Parenthood will not be allowed in Texas and the barbaric practice must be brought to an end," Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement.Planned Parenthood vowed to fight back, though it did not say whether it would mount a legal challenge.Abbott is one of several Republican governors who have moved to strip the organization's government funding since an anti-abortion group released the secretly recorded videos last summer about how Planned Parenthood handles the tissue of aborted fetuses used for medical research.Source: https://www.yahoo.com/health/judge-orders-louisiana-fund-planned-parenthood-clinics-140544396.htmlI'm so ****ing done with Greg Abbott.

Well his last name resonates with my previous Prime Minister so maybe its a name trait of being whack jobs with that last name?

Hauser 1,262 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The fact that they used an edited video made to tarnish PPH to drive the campaign to defund this organization just proves how idiotic Gov Abbott is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,984 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 The fact that they used an edited video made to tarnish PPH to drive the campaign to defund this organization just proves how idiotic Gov Abbott is.And how idiotic conservatives are in general. I mean, it was proven to be a hoax, wasn't it? I haven't seen anything concrete where it has been 100% proven that what they were doing was illegal. I'm open for anyone to show me the evidence and I will revise my stance on this issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartySick 174,387 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Good for them tbh. Especially after there illegal selling of human body parts. I support abortion but Let planned parenthood get funding from the private community. they never sold human body parts. When a woman gets an abortion she has the choice to donate fetal tissue to medical and scientific research. When she does, PP delievers the tissue and is rembursed for transportation and care. The videos "proving" that they "sold dead baby parts" are heavily doctored and have been proven false in every single case. There's no wrong doing on PP's part, just a bunch of jackasses that think they have a right to shut down one of the most active and best care facilities for both men and women under the guise of "pro-life". *inhale* let's hope PP can get its funding back in that backwards state.

JbGaga 2,261 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The videos, and in turn the 'scandal' was all fake. When people who work at planned parenthood say it out of there own mouth its not fake. Did you even watch the videos? They were not doctored. when A PP worker talks about getting body parts in tact for sale then its real. Im not going to even argue or discuss it. Its happening and its wrong and what they are doing is illegal. And I am for a women's right to choose but this is a completely separate issue.

Some people who have worked with Gaga have accused her of being a horrible person and also of having demonic powers. And the whole thing has been proven to be a hoax.
