Congrats to my pro-life Senator.
Anti choice before birth
And pro death afterwards.
Forced Birther; Christian Taliban.
Imposing your religion on the rest of us.
I'm not sure what you're asking, or what you're describing.
Gardner directly answered my question at one of his tele-town halls that he is on the record as being pro-life, and by preventing federally insured patients from using their Medicaid benefits at the clinic of their choice (Planned Parenthood,) other federally qualified clinics can get a piece of the pie. That answer is of course a total misdirection. Nothing stops these patients from going to those clinics now except for the lack of resources, expertise, and patient trust on these matters, all of which Planned Parenthood has in spades.
In reality, in the rural and medically underserved counties where PP operates, they are the only federally qualified provider in 20% of counties, and provide more than 50% of the federally reimbursed reproductive care in fully two-thirds. Despite claims about the thousands of FQHC's (dentists, school nurses) which can step in to take Planned Parenthood's place, they cant.
When Texas eliminated Planned Parenthood and rejected Medicaid funding, long-acting contraceptive use fell, and births to low-income women rose (big surprise, right?!?) The CBO scored the house version of TrumpCare, and predicted a similar effect. With the Medicaid cuts in the bills, those women and children will find obtaining prenatal and pediatric care more difficult, and some of them will die as a result. Leading the way in this trend, Texas now has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world.
Of course, more poor women without access to contraception will only increase the demand for abortion, so those Planned Parenthood centers providing abortions for cash, at rates set by the free market will find their business booming. It's not complicated to understand how this won't reduce abortions. It is complicated to understand how seemingly intelligent people think this accomplishes any of their goals.
