6. Anti-Abortionists Gut Women's' Clinic Funding
The fact of the matter is that here in Texas right-wing anti-abortion Republicans recently gutted state funding for private health clinics that served the needs of poor women's gynecological and obstetric needs. Although touted within the ranks of the anti-abortion movement as a victory for "life," this move deprived tens of thousands of less-prosperous Texas women access to clinics that provided pelvic exams, breast cancer screenings, and other tests that could have saved their lives, not to mention access to birth control which would have reduced the probability of abortion in the first place.
