This has backfired on the pro-life movement in a big way. It has exposed the fact that for decades they have been willing to use any and all tactics to strip rights away from women. Fake videos, deceptive statements, bullying, assault, bombings and murder. They are a bunch of freaking psychopaths obsessed with the sex lives of other people.
Are you talking about unborn women or born women?
I mean if there is a test that we can do that will tell us that this unborn woman will grow up to have irresponsible sex and then top it off by killing her babies then I say let's go ahead and abort that one.
"Hampton says the Legislature's target was abortion, but the unintended consequence was that family planning clinics that had nothing to do with abortion, especially rural clinics, ran out of money.
"So you had programs that would help patients pay for physician visits, obstetrical care, gynecological care, Pap smears. When all of that funding was removed and cut, a large number of women didn't have the means to pay for access to those services,"
The researchers found that two years after the cuts, Texas' women's health program managed to serve fewer than half the number of women it had before. The Legislature's own researchers predicted that more than 20,000 resulting unplanned births would cost taxpayers more than a quarter of a billion dollars in federal and state Medicaid support. White says that as the state has worked to rebuild its shattered network, the new providers don't necessarily have the same capacity to do cancer screenings and IUD insertions and birth control implants.
"A lot of the funding that has been allocated has gone to organizations that do not necessarily have the expertise or the necessary training to provide the types of family planning, contraceptive, preventive reproductive health care that the Planned Parenthood clinics provided," White says.
The political backlash to the funding cuts was stout. So in 2013, the Legislature essentially restored the money. But finding new providers, especially in the countryside, has been slow and difficult.
They have put their ideology above women's health care, closing these clinics caused harm to poor women. Their solution to prevent abortions by closing clinics was very short sighted and ended up in more unintended pregnancies and more abortions. They could care less about the outcome of PP clinics closing.

Oh those damn wimmenfolk, irresponsibly knocking themselves up all on their own!
Evil, but they want to shoot the messenger instead of cleaning up this horror.
It's all in a day's work for this woman and how she can increase the profits of the clinic.
I hope more people donate & use the services of PP. It's a great organization & I'm thankful they're around. I used them for years until I got a job that had good health insurance.
So, your little vendetta has utterly failed in 12 states so far - and in one case, the Grand Jury uncovered evidence that the accusers, not Planned Parenthood, were breaking the law.
Who thought this was a good time to double down? Is Wile E. Coyote providing the legal assistance here?
"In his ruling, Judge Orrick said that his review of hundreds of hours of video secretly shot by the center at meetings of abortion providers found no evidence that any of them had violated the law. No one “admitted to engaging in, agreed to engage in, or expressed interest in engaging in potentially illegal sale of fetal tissue for profit,” he wrote.
He wrote that the group’s projects “thus far have not been pieces of journalistic integrity, but misleadingly edited videos and unfounded assertions.”

I wonder why there have been so few responses from the CMP supporters.
I particularly appreciated this statement by the judge in California:
"Judge Orrick appears to agree, adding that the Daleiden’s activities support “NAF’s contention that defendants’ goal instead is to falsely portray the operations of NAF’s members.”"
