AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas announced Monday that it was cutting off Medicaid
funding to Planned Parenthood clinics following undercover videos featuring
discussions about fetal tissue, potentially triggering a federal court fight
like one unfolding in neighboring Louisiana.
Planned Parenthood affiliates statewide were told in a letter they were being
cut off because they were potentially “liable, directly or by affiliation, for a
series of serious Medicaid program violations” highlighted in the videos. The
five-page letter from state health officials said the organization was “no
longer capable of performing medical services in a professionally competent,
safe, legal, and ethical manner.”

The last time Texas cut funding to PP, they had to deal with an explosion in low-income pregnancies a few years later that they couldn't afford to deal with. But let's ignore history.

That's what it comes down to, it's a feel good moment even though this type of action is in opposition to the problem they are attempting to solve.
The lawsuit will be coming shortly same as was the case in Louisiana.

Explain how you will have MORE abortions AND MORE unwanted births, at the same time, because of this.

Case in point for what abstinence only education produces.
Let's say 10 women go to planned parenthood for family planning services, and as a result don't get pregnant.
Now let's say we cut off their access to PP, and 6 of those women get pregnant...
Let's say 2 of those women decide to have the baby...
You've gone from 0 unwanted pregnancies to 6, and from 0 abortions to 2.
