add Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) AUSTIN, Texas — A new Texas law that bars state funds for organizations that perform or promote abortion, including Planned Parenthood, took effect in the state Jan. 1. :paco: ---------------The Texas Women’s Health Program will now receice the funds to provide services for low-income women who would qualify for Medicaid if they become pregnant. It aims to provide about 110,000 women aged 18-44 with health exams, basic health care and some family-planning services, the Texas Tribune reports. The program has now added treatment for some sexually transmitted diseases. On Dec. 31, a state district judge rejected a Planned Parenthood request for a temporary restraining order against the law, which the state Legislature passed in 2011. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who signed the bill into law, praised the decision. He said the ruling “finally clears the way for thousands of low-income Texas women to access much-needed care, while at the same time respecting the values and laws of our state.†“I applaud all those who stand ready to help these women live healthy lives without sending taxpayer money to abortion providers and their affiliates.†Edited January 8, 2013 by add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
