also, talent and experience. a few officers have resigned.
I hear the Susan Komen foundation is losing donors and race participants over their Planned Parenthood debacle.

Why doesn't that surprise me?
If Texas planned to replace the services foreseeably lost due to the decision to deny funds to qualified participants, it'd be basically fine by me.
Spending money on preventive medicine for poor folks is a no brainer or should be. JMO.
Some of the supporters they are losing are people who before did not know that some of their money was going to Planned Parenthood, and now they know.
Exactly.
This was some shocking news to some.
http://www.npr.org/2012/05/07/152186...od-fights-backLast Monday, U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled that Planned Parenthood's claim — that the state of Texas is violating its cons utional rights — was likely to succeed. Yeakel issued an injunction stopping Texas' defunding until he can schedule a trial and hear arguments.
The state has appealed, and the matter is now before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments will be heard the first week of June.
If you can't afford children maybe you should stop having sex..
Time to forcibly tie those tubes...
Why does Texas do like this but it's okay to ban casinos and make people get a sticker for toll roads?
this kerfuffle is only nominally about abortion. the real idiocy of it is the decertification of clinics that perform no abortions, but much preventive health care, and yes, that hand out birth control. Planned Parenthood clinics saved Texas a lot of money in unpaid ER visits and unwanted pregnancies to single mothers well short of abortion. what Texas plans to replace them with remains to be seen.
The irony of this issue with PP is that they have decreased the number of abortions with their services. It also seems to be extremely shortsighted and smells more about politics than fiscal policy. WIth that being said, Gov Good Hair will not have to deal with pesky issues such as unwanted pregnancies and poor women not being able to secure preventative measures concerning their health. This may sound like an 'emotional' argument but in reality poor women are going to suffer because of this.
TX is full of "Christian" assholes, white, poor and wealthy who want to regulate women's vaginas (morals). Repugs have successfully lied, suckered "Christians" into "believing" that Repugs are the party of Christ and the Bible.
at substantial public expense. that part's not.This may sound like an 'emotional' argument but in reality poor women are going to suffer because of this.
Texians killing PP because it made abortion recommendations is estimated to increase TX abortions/year from 80K to 100K.
did PP make abortion recommendations? the WHP and abortion services provided by PP were administratively and physically separated, I thought . . .
Hopefully Ricky P. will pray about it.
we should all pray, tbh
New Study Shows Anti-Choice Policies Leading to Widespread Arrests of and Forced Interventions on Pregnant Women
On Tuesday, January 15th, the Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law will publish our study, “Arrests of and Forced Interventions on Pregnant Women in the United States, 1973-2005: Implications for Women’s Legal Status and Public Health.” This study makes clear that post-Roe anti-choice and “pro-life” measures are being used to do more than limit access to abortion; they are providing the basis for arresting women, locking them up, and forcing them to submit to medical interventions, including surgery.
The cases do ented in our study through 2005, as well as more recent cases, make clear that 40 years after Roe v. Wade was decided, far more is at stake than abortion or women’s reproductive rights. Pregnant women face attacks on virtually every right associated with cons utional personhood, including the very basic right to physical liberty.
Our study identified 413 criminal and civil cases involving the arrests, detentions, and equivalent deprivations of pregnant women’s physical liberty that occurred between 1973 (when Roe v. Wade was decided) and 2005. Because many cases are not reported publicly, we know that this is a substantial under count. Furthermore, new data collection indicates that at least 250 such interventions have taken place since 2005.
In almost all of the cases we identified, the arrests and other actions would not have happened but for the fact that the woman was pregnant at the time of the alleged violation of law. And, in almost every case we identified, the person who initiated the action had no direct legal authority for doing so. No state legislature has passed a law that holds women legally liable for the outcome of their pregnancies. No state legislature has passed a law making it a crime for a pregnant woman to continue her pregnancy to term in spite of a drug or alcohol problem. No state has passed a law exempting pregnant women from the protections of the state and federal cons ution. And, under Roe v. Wade, abortion remains legal.

I read that very few PP clinics actually did abortions (in TX) but they caught got clobbered by Texian Taleban anyway. They did tell ladies where they could get an abortion. And those abortion providers haven't been murdered or outlawed, yet.
where, please?They did tell ladies where they could get an abortion. And those abortion providers haven't been murdered or outlawed, yet.
of course PP isn't giving it up yet, and Roe v. Wade is still the law of the land.
