Austin, Texas—Texas announced on Monday, Oct. 19, 2015 that it would be removing Medicaid funding to all clinics located in the state of Texas after a recent investigation of undercover videos discussing the sale of fetal tissue were released.
Planned Parenthood clinics received a letter from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Office of the Inspector General notifying affiliates that they are "no longer capable of performing medical services in a professionally competent, safe, legal, and ethical manner."
This move comes from a recent investigation, ordered by Republican Governor Greg Abbott, of released undercover videos from an anti-abortion organization highlighting the discussion of sale of aborted fetal tissue.
This decision hopes to provide improvement of health …show more content…

In September of 2011 Planned Parenthood was excluded from receiving any state funds and in 2013 Planned Parenthood was denied from participating in the Texas Women’s Health Program.

This recent ruling adds more fuel to Gov. Abbot’s LIFE Initiative plan. LIFE Initiative is a plan to protect the unborn and prevent the selling of body parts. The ‘F’ in LIFE refers to remove funding specifically for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers out of taxpayer money completely, both at the State and local levels.
Planned Parenthood states that the allegations brought on to them regarding the videos are outrageous. The health services provider states that the videos do not fairly represent the organization and that the videos where edited to favor anti-abortion organization agenda.

Planned Parenthood also mentions that Medicaid reimbursement is provided for health services such as preventive healthcare and no reimbursement is used for abortion services. Since the implemented Hyde Amendment of 1977, this currently forbids the use of federal funds for abortions except in cases of life endangerment, rape or

“Fetal Tissue Fallout, R. Alta Charo, J.D., September 3, 2015” In this article R. Alta Charo states that we have a right to use fetal tissue for research and therapy (Fetal Tissue, 1) The article goes into how a lot of people find this to be a moral issue and a matter of the conscience and explains how the antiabortion activist that don’t agree with the research are actually benefitting from the fetal tissue. They argue that the research supports abortions but have taken part in receiving vaccines and therapy that comes from the research. R. Alta Charo begins by talking about the argument over the antiabortionist activist who pretended to be a research company representative and gave out false, edited information from a Planned Parenthood video that goes over the services they provide.

With the attack on Planned Parenthood and regarding the video scandal which blew Planned Parenthood in the spotlight once again, is the problem its self that checking the facts are number one.

Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 2972, Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH Woman) Act. I appreciate the opportunity to respond. The Hyde Amendment was introduced in 1976, as pro-life legislation that prohibits federal Medicaid coverage of abortion except in cases of rape, incest and when the mother’s life in jeopardy. The Each Women Act, introduced by Barbara Lee (D-CA) would restore accesses to abortion coverage to health insurance programs managed by the federal government.

The Center of Medical Progress released a series of videos on YouTube that shows a meeting with top-level abortion doctor from Planned Parenthood Deborah Nucatola. Within the video, it shows Nucatola describing the illegal selling of body parts for nodes (a central connecting point). The video has caused many problems for Planned Parenthood, along with many of the other videos released by CMP. One major problem Planned Parenthood has faced is due to a debate where Carly Fiorina made a comment about the videos that was untrue.

Planned Parenthood Hearing The Congressional "hearing" of Planned Parenthood was more interrogation than listening tour. It was political grandstanding of the worst order. Only in the US do we have a "serious" political party who spend their time and taxpayer resources attempting to legislate their citizen's sex lives and keep (poor) women in reproductive chains. I guess when the world's problems get too complicated for tiny minds, talking about sex is the best option.

This is where the controversy within myself starts. Because this idea sets in with women rights as well. I do not believe the government has the right to tell you what you should and shouldn’t do with your child. I do not believe they should help you, and I don’t believe that they should hurt you either. This also means no government funding for planned parenthood.

The Right to Abortion On January 22, 1973, in a 7-2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down it’s landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which recognized that the constitutional right to privacy extends to a woman’s right to make her own personal medical decisions — including the decision to have an abortion without interference from politicians (Planned Parenthood). There are many moments in history when Roe v. Wade has been so close to being overturned, yet it is still in place. Abortion should stay legal, or not overturned, for the health of women everywhere. First, this important case took place at the time of abortion being illegal in most states, including Texas, where Roe v. Wade began.

Abortion opponents want this bill passed because it would reduce the amount of abortions being performed in the country. Planned parenthood serves mainly lower income women, and if Planned Parenthood could not perform abortions for a year, few lower income women could get abortions. Some could get abortions by paying more for them, but not all. The reason abortion opponents are pushing for this is recent reports that Planned Parenthood has been selling fetal tissue for research. This has not been proven.

Availability of health care to poor women, and the need for contraceptives to prevent pregnancies rather than need abortions. But if Planned Parenthood wants to keep its funding and continue to provide abortions then it has to separate the two services, and provide evidence federal funding isn't going towards abortions. I believe abortion should be legal, but I also believe people who don't believe in it shouldn't have to pay for

The Planned Parenthood activist group justify their stance on protecting reproductive rights for mothers and providing free sexual and reproductive health services by claiming that their organizations efforts lead to the fundamental ideals of the historic authors John Locke, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, and John Stuart Mill; life, liberty, and property. To begin, Planned Parenthood would argue that individuals who choose to take part in their services, do so to better their life. It may be utilizing their birth control services, getting an abortion, or acquiring simple reproductive health care, but the person receiving the resources ultimately decides what is best for their body and life. Throughout the organization's website and tabs of information

Donald Trump believes, “‘banning all federal taxpayer funding of abortions will save the lives of over one million Americans from abortions’”(Steven). This statement is false and inaccurate. Instead of those women going and getting an abortion safely carried out at Planned Parenthood, she will go get an abortion in a more dangerous way ultimately putting her life at risk too, which will lead to higher deaths. As Taylor Jacobs said in the article on the Odyssey online, “ Regardless of your personal opinions regarding abortions, it is not possible to stop every woman from getting the procedure if they are unprepared to have a child, no matter what programs are defunded. Thousands of women die from unsafe abortions per year and defunding Planned Parenthood would make getting an abortion even more difficult and likely increase the numbers of deaths.”
