Texas has been on a mission to end taxpayer funding to the abortion giant Planned Parenthood for years.
And after passing legislation and fighting lengthy court battles, the state finally is doing it.
Beginning Feb. 3, Texas Planned Parenthood facilities will no longer be allowed to receive state Medicaid funds, according to the Texas Tribune, a news site that receives funding from Planned Parenthood.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission informed the abortion chain of the change in a letter Monday, the report states. The commission also refused Planned Parenthood’s request to stay in the program.
The legal battle between Texas and Planned Parenthood over Medicaid funds has been going on for about five years. In November, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the state, agreeing that Texas can kick out Planned Parenthood from the program for violating state policies.
According to Texas Right to Life: “Medicaid providers in Texas are required to follow Texas Medicaid policies and federal and state law. The Texas Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found Planned Parenthood violated federal regulations by altering abortion procedures to harvest baby body parts. Thus, the OIG terminated Planned Parenthood’s provider contract.”

It’s great news, if it succeeds.
It may be THE rock that the DNC, MSM and deep state cabal shipwrecks itself on!!!
Its time for state nullification. Abortion is a great place to start
I am very proud of Texas. Lots of logic going around and taking root in that wonderful state. I was horrified that so many people from CA were moving in. I hope Texas know they must keep those people under control or Texas will explode blue due to native frustrations.
I have never supported abortion. I wonder why birth control cannot be used fairly indescriminately (where is male birth control, anyway) and better birth control cannot be developed and why the fathers of bastard children cannot be made to help support the kids as the kids grow up.
I think we disgrace ourselves as humans and Texans by not taking the high road on these issues.
I wonder why the Church and churches cannot assist the process as opposed to thwarting it.
It’ll take Planned Barrenhood 30 seconds to find an Osama Obama appointee to overturn this.
Texas will fully defund Planned Parenthood
Outstanding deal save lives and save tax payer money.
You’re right about Kalifornia natives moving here. I think there ought to be a test administered to them to reveal their politics! We deal with Demons in our big cities, Austin being the boil on the butt of Texas but if you want to live in the greatest state ever, you conform to why it is that way.......;)
Finally, some good news.
Praise the Lord and God almighty and pass me some ammo!!
Yeah, no state monies but Kamala will flood them with fed tax dollars.
IT WILL GET CANCELLED, ALL PP WILL BE FULLY FUNDED. WE LOST ALL WE GAINED AND FREEDOM TO. WE ARE DOMESTIC TERRORIST. TIME TO GO UNDERGROUD GURELLIA TIME.
That’s comeawa ‘fweedumb’ hawiss to you buddy.
Texas needs to secede before it can’t.
