Texas Cutting Funds From Planned Parenthood

I had heard about this issue in my Texas government class, but now it's actually happening. http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/175871241.html
"State lawmakers cut off funding for Planned Parenthood, the largest health care provider in the Texas Women's Health Program."
WHAT THE HECK TEXAS? You know what the worst part is? SO MANY PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING THIS. 

One of many. Might I point out a WOMAN posted this.

Let me clarify something. Less than 5% of Planned Parenthood's funds go toward abortions and the state itself is not allowed to fund it. So guess what, the cuts aren't going towards abortions ding-dong. It's going towards important things like contraception. I don't know about you, but stating contraceptives have nothing to do with healthcare is probably the STUPIDEST thing I have heard. Because having children has nothing to do with your health. No of course not. It has nothing to do with anatomy, physiology, and pediatrics. 

I think women should have the choice on whether they want to have children or not. The woman should have control over her own body, and they can make whatever decisions they want based on their beliefs. No one else should be able to make that decision for them. This is an extreme, but I think if she understood the concept of rape, she might think differently.
Also, she must not have a clue what Planned Parenthood does.
" Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers provide health care including routine gynecological exams, breast and cervical cancer screenings, contraceptive services, abortion care, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, and HIV testing and education to nearly three million women, men, and adolescents."

On the topic of STD's, Texas is number one in gonorrhea. This year an average of 600 cases a week are being reported. Key words being reported, because so many go unreported. Also, 50% of women don't show symptoms. Awesome right?! Not that it matters anyway, considering gonorrhea is slowly but surely going to become untreatable due to the high resistance of drugs. Let's not help these people while we can according to this woman. I just want to throw books at these people until they pick one up and read it. Make the ignorance stop! Please. It's killing me slowly and painfully.

Texas, you're an awesome place to live. It's warm for the most part and people are friendly. But goodness, these people need to become educated. So many people here give religion a bad reputation, and they don't even question their morals or thought processes. 

I just...I can't. Like I don't understand why this bothers me so much. It's not directly affecting me, but all of those people depend on it. That poor teenage girl who can't talk to her uber conservative, religious parents will no longer have anywhere to turn. That woman in poverty who already has three kids might have to worry about another mouth to feed. Go ahead and talk about abstinence all day long. The reality is that it's an unrealistic goal to set for society. Not everyone is going to do it, just like not everyone is going to make all A's in school. I get sarcastic about it when I'm angry, but honestly, I'm deeply disturbed by the decision made.
