Texas Goes Blue

Announced today in the local news outlet that the local Planned Parenthood clinic is shutting down August 1st. I've driven by that clinic a hundred times (less than a mile from my work). Also the two most closest clinics to us are shutting down.

Any poverty stricken, uninsured woman here (a location with around a quarter of a million people) will have to drive to Houston (around a hundred miles away) for services like cervical cancer, medical screenings, birth control, etc.

In the past 3 years 130,000 fewer Texas women have the option of health services based on their situation in life and what the Texas Republicans have done here in the past few years.

Yeah, we're staying awake.
