[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2900352, member: 7629"] in 2011 women's health clinic funding was cut by 2/3 from 2010 levels and since then 82 clinics have closed which primarily served low income and rural regions according to [URL='http://www.npr.org/2016/01/28/464728393/texas-tries-to-repair-damage-wrought-upon-family-planning-clinics']npr[/URL]. [URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/4yoo9g/texas_has_highest_maternal_mortality_rate_in/[/URL] The numbers are harsh. In Texas, just 22 percent of childbearing-age women who qualify for subsidized preventive health care treatment actually get it. The latest family planning predicament began in 2011 when the Republican-dominated Legislature decided it was done, once and for all, funding Planned Parenthood. It eliminated funding for any clinic associated with an abortion provider even if the clinic itself didn't perform abortions. In the process, the Legislature ended up slashing the state's family planning budget by two-thirds. "And that turned everything on its head," says Dr. Moss Hampton, a district chairman for the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and a professor at the University Health Sciences Center in Midland. Hampton says the Legislature's target was abortion, but the unintended consequence was that family planning clinics that had nothing to do with abortion, especially rural clinics, ran out of money.
