Texas' Women Health Program doesn't need to fund abortion providers and their affiliates after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals denied an appeal to reconsider their early decision. Planned Parenthood lawyers apparently can't understand that no one is taking away their free speech rights if a state chooses not to fund abortion providers.
In a statement issued Thursday, Gov. Rick Perry said Texas will immediately "defund" the health organization's affiliates. "Today's ruling affirms yet again that in Texas the Women's Health Program has no obligation to fund Planned Parenthood and other organizations that perform or promote abortion. In Texas we choose life, and we will immediately begin defunding all abortion affiliates to honor and uphold that choice."

President Obama lied about Planned Parenthood providing mammograms again on the Tonight Show. He's lied so many times about this, the Washington Post finally fact checked him on it.

A woman named Rebecca Edmonds is suing the Air Force after her scholarship was revoked because she was pregnant. The Air Force has policy which prohibits single parents from enlisting.
Edmonds said she asked the officer who informed her that she was being ejected from the Air Force, "Had I terminated the pregnancy before my commissioning, would I have been able to commission at that point?" And, according to Edmonds, "He said, 'Well. Technically, yes.' That was the hardest part of all of this. Someone telling me to my face that had I gotten an abortion, then I would be eligible for service."
