Gov. Kathy Hochul Tells Anti-Choice Extremists Not to Underestimate Women’s Rage

Obama: If states don't accept HHS 'contraception' policy, I will slash health care for women

Unions get waivers, but that’s because he doesn’t want to violate their principles. Office of Texas Governor Rick Perry:

Gov. Rick Perry today said he is unwilling to let more than 100,000 low-income Texas women pay the price for the Obama Administration’s unwavering loyalty to abortion providers and their affiliates. The governor has instructed Texas Health and Human Services Commissioner Tom Suehs to work with legislative leadership identify state funding to continue services provided by the Women’s Health Program (WHP) if the Obama Administration follows through with their threat to cut federal funding and kick Texas women out of the program. Gov. Perry has also notified President Obama that we will not stand by as his administration attempts to violate states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“I am directing you to begin working with legislative leadership to identify state funding to continue to provide these services, in full compliance with Texas law, should the Obama Administration make good on its threat to end the health care to these 100,000-plus women,” Gov. Perry wrote to Commissioner Suehs. “Texans send a substantial amount of our tax dollars to Washington, DC, and it is unacceptable that the Obama Administration is denying Texas taxpayers the use of those dollars to fund this program, simply because of its pro-abortion agenda.”

Texas will carry the costs from the time the Obama Administration cuts funding for the program until this impending decision is reversed, either by negotiated resolution or litigation.

“Your administration’s attempt to violate states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by mandating which health providers the State of Texas must use is nothing more than an effort to continue to financially support abortion providers like Planned Parenthood and their affiliates,” Gov. Perry wrote to President Obama. “The federal government should not be in the business of protecting abortion providers at the expense of the health of Texas women. Texans send a substantial amount of our tax dollars to Washington, D.C., and it is unacceptable that your administration is denying Texas taxpayers the use of those dollars to fund this program simply because of your pro-abortion agenda.”
