Gov. Greg Abbott has been trying to stay out of the spot light when it comes to Medicaid cuts, blaming and letting the lobbyist and lawmakers take any heat over the cuts that have been proposed or even passed. Gov Abbott tweeted the other day that his office has issued a letter ending Medicaid participation for PPact in Texas which basically means that Texas will stop funding Planned ParentHood.
Andrea Greer the author of this article Gov. Abbott pulls Medicaid Funds from Texas Planned Parenthoods is against defunding Planned Parenthood and uses quite a bit of evidence to persuade you to agree with her. And i would say it works. She talks about how Planned Parenthoods that are funded my medicaid do not perform abortions but really just provide health care to women who have no where else to go. She also mentions the Centre for Medical Progress which is ran by a known anti-abortion activist, that produced some deceptive videos that resulted in Texas Health and Human Services to investigate Planned Parenthoods. Andrea uses a good amount of factual background and other sources to portray her idea on the topic. I would say she has a well written, biased albeit, article that promotes not defunding planned parent hood on the basis that it helps women all over texas with more than just abortions.
