Thanks,
If you fund FQHC's with the funding received from Planned Parenthood, problem solved and you have less waste.
I realize that you want to see services created that would end abortion clinics. FQHCs, of course don't provide abortion services. They do help some medical issues that are complimentary to women's health - and they are a needed medical provider. But not all are comprehensive and where they exist - they are usually in more rural type areas.
I don't see FQHCS being used to create facilities to take the place of Planned Parenthood. Although they do provide some similar medical FQHCs, don't provide comprehensive family planning services. And yes, that involves abortion counseling and referrals.
In Austin - as I stated before, there are only 3 PP facilities. Only 1 of those facilites provide abortion services. But are still are also independent abortion services remaining in Texas despite the Legislative efforts to close them all.
The need for Abortion services isn't going away.
