Along with Medicaid, Texas has an ongoing conflict with the the feds over the use of Planned Parenthood as a provider of women's health. The "affiliate ban rule" is meant to restrict funding going towards institutions that provide abortions - even if the specific service in question is not an abortion.
I posted a story about this below, but here are updates:
- Without Planned Parenthood, will there be enough women's health care providers?
- Will the cuts end up costing Texas?
- Texas v Planned Parenthood.
