HOUSTON – The federal government will stop funding a Texas health program that serves 130,000 low-income women because of a state law that bars abortion-affiliated clinics from getting public money, a top U.S. health official said Friday.

The federal money, which covers 90 percent of the state's $40 million program, will be phased out between May and September because the law violates federal regulations requiring that women have a choice in medical care, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said during a trip to Houston. That means the Women's Health Program will join a long list of programs nationwide on the chopping block because of their affiliations with Planned Parenthood or other groups that offer abortions

We need a whole lot more of this to happen!

Far too many have fallen for the tactic of the government to withhold funding if xyz doesn't agree with Federal policies.

Take the Fed money and educate our children according to the Fed's "rules". With regards to education, how many times have we heard that if a school district doesn't comply, it'll lose federal funding?

Money has been the bait on the hook that's allowed the Fed's to get into areas that were never a part of the Constitutional mandate for the federal government. When enough states swallowed enough hooks, States Rights have all but disappeared.

Sadly, too many hooks have been swallowed, too many carrots have been followed. We're seeing it over and over again with what education must do. What business must do. What non-profit organizations, including churches, must do. And, finally what individuals MUST DO regardless of their beliefs.

Repeat: We need a whole lot more of this to happen!

Why should Texas Republicans care unless they are skimming cream off the top? What percentage gets to the customers?

It's part of the Democrats war on the unborn.

Women don't get any health care unless they are willing to go along with the Federal government aborting as many of the unborn as possible.
