Texas cut its support statewide for women's health clinics by
two-thirds in 2011, eliminating access to family planning
services for nearly 300,000 poor and working-class women.

But Texas is going a step further, with a law that eliminates funding for
women's health clinics that either associate with abortion providers or advocate for abortion

None of the dozens of clinics that will lose state funds actually perform abortions. It is already
against state and federal law for clinics that perform
abortions to receive taxpayer dollars.Wade Goodwyn, NPR

Women are the collateral
