Statement from Melaney A. Linton, president & CEO of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast
“This decision is yet another devastating blow in Texas’ long history of preventing people from accessing life-saving and essential health care at Planned Parenthood. Texas politicians have shown time and time again that they value extremist agendas over Texans’ lives and access to quality, affordable health care.
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast provides birth control, life-saving cancer screenings, HIV testing, and other preventive health care to patients across the greater Houston area through the Medicaid program. Thanks to the state’s anti-abortion agenda, those thousands of Texans’ access to care is now in jeopardy — and during an unprecedented global health crisis, no less.
Now more than ever, we must do everything we can to expand people’s access to essential health care, not restrict it.”
