Suehs (Texas HHS Commissioner) responds angrily to Planned Parenthood activists

Tom Suehs, the state’s health and human services commissioner, responded with frustration this week to a couple of emails he received from supporters of Planned Parenthood over the funding of a health-care program for women.

Planned Parenthood encouraged members to send Suehs an email telling him to “stop playing politics with women’s health.” And according to emails obtained by the American-Statesman, the commissioner responded to a couple of them.

“Are you for real? Who is paying your bills?” Suehs wrote to one woman.

Stephanie Goodman, a spokeswoman for the Health and Human Services Commission, confirmed that the email was from Suehs and said his response was inappropriate.

In an email to another woman he responded, “Being refreed (sic?) for fraud.”
