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 theCBS 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 went straight to a woman “worried about a recent Texas decision to exclude Planned Parenthood from that federal program, which provides free preventive services, like breast and cervical cancer screenings, to low-income women.”

My message to Texas is: If the government wants to stop medicaid payments to punish Texas, then Texas should stop payments to the Obama regime totally. I think Texas can best decide how to take care of Texans far better than some pencil pusher in DC who can’t even point to Texas on a map!
LMAO, PLANNED PARENT HOOD DOESN’T DO ENOUGH, BREAST CHECKS AND CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING TEST TO PUT IN A THIMBLE,…………………THEY ARE STRICLTLY AN ABORTION CLINIC………….NUFF SAID!!!!!
Scott Pelly and all the other “news” anchors found on network TV are showing the few people who actually watch, just what a bunch of Morons look like! Fox is, of course, exempt because their brand of TV is technically superior to all the others. They just make better Television.
I would like to know the number of breast and cervical cancer screenings Planned Parenthood do, compared to killing innocent babies. This is what they are noted for all over America. I would not go to them for a mammogram or anything else.
When ask about their mammograms – they said yes they do them, or rather they sponser them by sending you to someone who does them – they don’t have the necessary equiptment…so that tells me that abortion is all they actually do. I’m beginning to see States take back their power – it’s time that Congress and the president sees just who they work for – not the other way around.
