Reality and its well known liberal bias

Texas Republicans never let a little good policy get in the way of bankrupt ideology:

In the fiscal crunch of 2011, the Legislature cut the state’s family-planning budget by two-thirds, with some lawmakers claiming that they were defunding the “abortion industry.” Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, found that more than 50 family-planning clinics had closed statewide as a result.

Now, amid estimates that the cuts could lead to 24,000 additional 2014-15 births at a cost to taxpayers of $273 million,  lawmakers are seeking a way to restore financing without ruffling feathers.
We cannot afford to feed these freeloadin' infants born because people didn't get their birth control!

Maybe Texas Republicans just need to appoint a Pharaoh -- or somebody to float children out of State?
