Planned Parenthood Branches Vote to Merge
The boards of three regional Planned Parenthood branches — North Texas, Central Texas and the Capital Region — have voted to merge, forming a $29 million-per-year mega-organization with 26 clinics up and down the Interstate 35 corridor.
The merger vote, in the works for more than a year, creates Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, the eighth-largest affiliate of the nation’s most ubiquitous reproductive health and abortion provider.

Wonderful! Everytime I pass the large Planned Parenthood clinic on I-45 in Houston I think about how many people have been helped by this organization and how important it is to keep sending them donations. There will inevitably be the uninformed who will harp on about the "millions of babies killed by abortions" but they have chosen to remain ignorant about the fact that PP is one of the only sources for women, and sometimes men, to have low cost healthcare and birth control.
The takeover of the Women's Health Plan will be an unmitigated disaster just as most state services in Texas have been. Planned Parenthood will be there to help.

$29M and they want state funds? Disgusting. What is worse is 8500 babies will be murdered, and pp is proud they are doing the killing.

Long live Planned Parenthood.

"By defunding family planning, the governor and socially conservative lawmakers are not only hurting the women Planned Parenthood serves. They're hurting women across the state,"
But apparently no harm done to the 8,500 babies aborted. New goal for next year,,,,,,,, 9,500. Long live the legacy of Margaret Sanger . Under the law today , which he supports,, I wonder if Barak Obama's momma would have aborted him had this service been so accessible, free and easy in 1959?
