The real reason Texas doesn't like health clinics, and it has nothing to do with abortion.
Texas is a very conservative state, so conservative
values are not but two steps beside it. Church and the Dallas Cowboys seem to
be more important than hot topics like basic health coverage for low-income
residents. Since Planned Parenthood provides safe and aseptic abortions, which
only account for three percent of their services, Texan law officials decided
that the small percentage was a little too much hoedown for their Lone Star
State. At least, that's how it appeared on television.
If Hillary and Donald have only proven one idea true,
then it's the idea that all politicians are shady to some degree. Some Texas politicians, in this case, can
serve Texan-size shade that can almost overshadow Twitter-size shade. The ugly
truth behind the reason to defund Planned Parenthood is not even abortion; it's
race.

Even though birth rates have spiked due to an absence of inexpensive birth
control, and morbidity rates of pregnant women have spiked after the absence of
Planned Parenthood, these facts aren't because Texas law officials hate
pro-choice and extra alternatives. In Krugman's "States of Cruelty,"
he poses a provoking question for his readers: "If Washington is willing
to provide health insurance to many of your state's residents — and in doing so pump dollars into your state's economy — why wouldn't you
say yes?"
Unfortunately,
a main reason is because nonwhite citizens heavily outweigh white citizens for
Medicaid assistance. Greed is a visible monster that plagues the selfish, and
there are white Americans who only want to help white Americans. Everyone who
reads this article should be thankful for what they have, even if it's not
much. Remember that there's some woman who can't receive proper medical
treatment for herself or her child because of voters who have a disregard for
nonwhite Americans and/or people in poverty.
