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.”
