Politically motivated maneuver could leave more than 130,000 Texans without health care — comes on the heels of reduction in women’s health care to 180,000 women

AUSTIN, Texas - February 23 - Today Texas Governor Rick Perry moved to effectively sabotage the entire Medicaid Women’s Health Program, which provides preventive health care, including birth control and lifesaving cancer screenings, to more than 130,000 low-income women each year.

“Governor Perry and his conservative allies have once again chosen politics over the lives of Texas women,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. “He will never know the reality of the women that rely on these programs. He will never know what it's like for a woman who feels a lump in her breast, but has to worry about the cost of a doctor’s visit.”
