Texas Shuts Down Four Planned Parenthood Abortion Mills

State health department officials in Texas have shut down four Planned Parenthood abortion facilities. All of the mills are based in San Antonio and charged with operating without proper medical licenses. A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood is blaming the incident on mere communication problem. But state legislators are concerned about the abortion mills thumbing their noses at state law, and want to stop the flow of ten million in state tax dollars to them. The investigation has turned up violations in an additional five Planned Parenthood facilities. The problem is more than communication. For the sake of women’s health and the lives of their babies, I’m glad Texas officials aren’t looking the other way and that they are holding Planned Parenthood accountable.
