Texas has become the latest state to announce it is cutting off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood in the wake of heavily edited videos that show Planned Parenthood officials discussing the donation of fetal tissue to medical researchers. Multiple state and congressional investigations have found no wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood. In a statement, Planned Parenthood said: “It is completely outrageous that Texas officials are using thoroughly discredited, fraudulent videos to cut women off from preventive health care, including cancer screenings, HIV testing, and birth control.” The move by Texas came just hours after a federal court blocked Louisiana from cutting off Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood.
