Next step for Texas after more babies, perpetual MORE cuts to services babies need
Texas is a rich state, yet ranks about 3rd from the bottom of states in all categories of social services or conversely high in in the bad categories like dropout rates. The rationale is a mishmash of "Rugged Individualism" and religious Fundamentalism as the basis for invasive intrusions into restricting other people's decisions about their private lives, without a sense of irony about their TeaBagger harping about "freedom" (versus other people's freedom).
Their hottest topics are: War on Planned Parenthood, state board on textbooks (think "Creationism/Intelligent Design" and minimizing minorities in history), voter suppression, and Dr Strangelove border "security" spending schemes. One of the most mental twists is how they claim to want every possible birth, but once the births are here they want so slash all programs that will support the new arrivals. Hence,

I believe that Texas is leading the charge at reintroducing slavery as a viable commodity! In order to do this they have to ensure they have the inventory for a good start up!
What better way to gain inventory then by making sure that the poor don't have access to any kind of family planning, basically forcing women to have children!
As for not providing funding, well that's to be expected...after all it's believed that the poor produce like rabbits, and if you lose a few, no big deal because there will always be more to fill the void!
This sounds rather callous, but I believe that it's more honest then the BS line about being concerned with the health of woman, and trying to save the lives of unborn children!!!
Oh, and it's about controlling women!!!
