In other words they don't know they are just guessing. Typical NBC report.
well there is no denying the increase did occur at the same time as the cuts and in the areas most effected. There is no data that shows a direct correlation, so you are correct that it is not conclusive at all. Just observations. Say Planned Parenthood is defunded across the country, do similar instances arise?
This article is a total joke. These "Medicaid births" are illegal immigrants dropping anchor after Obama had spent the last 5 years promising amnesty. Texas didn't even defund Planned Parenthood until last year, which isn't included in the data.
Texas dropped the funding October 2015.
This is February 2016.
From October thru January is only 3 months.
Not even long enough to "not have access", get pregnant and have a baby.
Did anyone even stop to think and do that math ?
It's physically impossible for access to end October 2015 and by January 2016 get pregnant and have a baby because you didn't have access.
The earliest someone could have gotten pregnant because of the funding cut would be November. Add 9 months to that and the first babies would be popping out in August 2016.
And COINCIDENTALLY Texas had a surge of illegals..over 500% increase from October thru January. This per the border patrol.
I would fund PP to sterilize people who are completely stupid.
Condoms are cheap.
