Obama administration officials in the Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday they would pull all of Medicaid’s funding for Texas’ Women’s Health Program because the state decided to no longer pass those funds along to abortion providers, such as Planned Parenthood. Instead of holding the Obama officials accountable for putting the interests of a favored liberal group ahead of the poor women of Texas, right on cue the CBS Evening News turned it into another tale of woe with women as victims in the loss of “free” services provided by the sacrosanct Planned Parenthood.
“A fight over Planned Parenthood could leave thousands of women without health services,” anchor Scott Pelley ominously teased Thursday night, before introducing the report on how the “a growing dispute...could leave thousands of Texas women without access to health care.”
Reporter Anna Werner [Snip]... highlighted how “around the state, other women are protesting the decision. Planned Parenthood serves 50,000 women in the program.” She then hit Texas Governor Rick Perry from the left, countering his concern: “But under federal law, the money’s not allowed to go to abortions under this program at all.” As if money is not fungible. Then she pressed him repeatedly: “You believe other providers will be able to pick up the slack?...What if they can’t?...But what if they can’t?”
She concluded where she began, with her poster victim lacking access to Planned Parenthood: “For patients like Holly Andrews, what if also means what now? She doesn’t know of any other clinic in her town where she can get medical services for free.”

He is for Federal Law only...Just like Sharia Law...
If Ms Holly knows she wants to have these yearly checks, then maybe Ms Holly can put aside a few dollars from her welfare check each month to pay for them.
Cold hearted, aren’t I?
Who is Holly Andrews? The inquiring mind wishes to know.
... Bush's fault
