Contraception Fell, Medicaid Births Rose When Texas Defunded Planned Parenthood - NBC News


More single mothers having unwarrented babies. More welfare, more social services costs. More services cut. Decreases the community's overall quality of life.

"Texas is fast becoming a cautionary tale for politicians in Ohio, Utah, and other states targeting care at Planned Parenthood."

I do wonder that sometimes.

Think all the republican presidential candidates want this to happen across the country.

How many more illegals came to Texas that wouldn't qualify for medicaid and had babies ?
Illegals WANT babies, not abortions or contraceptive.

It's a part of their culture and they couldn't care less that the taxpayer has to pay for them. Those anchors gives them a foothold in our country also.

What exactly does that have to do with the negative effects of defunding Planned Parenthood? I am genuinely curious.

illegal immigrants are to blame for the rise?

I get that they want to defund planned parenthood, because they promote abortion. But they got to replace it with something or else you are just making the situation worse.

In other words they don't know they are just guessing. Typical NBC report.
