In a recent article in The Texas Tribune, the always well spoken and intelligent Rick Perry gets back to "work" in Texas after dropping out of the presidential race. We all have our different views about birth control and abortion, typically very strong feelings, and Perry is no exception. He recently gave a speech in Round Rock regarding a Medicaid program which provides health care to at least 100,000 Texas women, providing STD screenings and contraceptives among other exams, not abortions.
President Obama invalidated a waiver that funds this program.
Our
fearless Governor says that the waiver did not go through due to the
fact that Texas does not want to pay for abortions. Planned Parenthood is one of the major facilities that help these underprivileged women, there are current efforts to get rid of the facility in Texas. Cindy Mann, director of the Center for Medicaid, said the state will not be able to end Planned Parenthood because they offer other services Medicaid does not pay for such as abortions.
I feel very strongly about this issue but will not reveal which way so that I do not have to argue about it but I think it is wonderful that we can help needy women, WHEN THEY NEED IT. The system will continue to be abused because there are too many handouts. I am not rich by any means but I am responsible for my actions and these abortions are out of control. The Earth is getting to a scary point of over population but that is not seeming to matter to some people and the middle class is, in lack of a better word, getting screwed and paying for it.
