The Texas Legislature approved a bill Monday that would both compel the state to push the Obama administration to convert Texas’s Medicaid program into a block grant and defund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.
The omnibus health bill also includes a number of other controversial provisions, including plans to save $400 million over the next year by increasing the use of Medicaid managed care.
Guttmacher also reports that 93 percent of all abortions occur for “social reasons” such as a mother’s decision that the child is unwanted or “inconvenient.”Obama doesn't want his daughters "punished" with a baby either.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is funding a new attack ad that takes aim at Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R-Alaska) stance on abortion.
DeMint has been one of Murkowski's most outspoken critics since she announced her decision to run as a write-in candidate after losing the GOP primary to Tea Party favorite Joe Miller.
