In keeping with the principles of the House we were able to defund Planned Parenthood and add $12.3 million for abortion alternatives. This, coupled with $30.4 million in federal matching dollars for the Healthy Texas Women program, helped the House to meet its obligation in promoting top tier health programs for numerous Texas women and children. We were also successful in passing a partial-abortion ban and prohibited the sale of fetal tissue and organs.
In efforts to strengthen Texas families, I proudly supported Department of Family Protective Services reform, by increasing rates to foster families and providers, reducing caseloads for caseworkers, and funded preventative programs to keep families together.
