Texas Wins Court Victory to Stop Taxpayer Funding of Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood is the nation’s number one provider of elective abortion. The federal government gives them over $300 million a year of our tax dollars to murder unborn children. The state of Texas said they do not want to see any government funding for anyone who provides elective abortions, so they passed a law to that affect.
Endorsed by the Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and Governor Rick Perry, Thomas Suehs, Commissioner of Texas Health and Human Services signed Senate Bill 7 that put a halt to any abortion provider participation in the state’s Women Health Program effective May 1, 2012.
Ever since the new law was passed and signed, Planned Parenthood has not been happy as this will cost them millions of dollars if not overturned. As expected, they filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the new law.
