Pamphlets Are Useless as Diapers

In this episode we talk about the current talking points from Governor Abbott and other Republican Elected Officials in regards to the total abortion plan.  These individuals have offered up the idea of providing diapers and pamphlets in exchange to those seeking abortion.

  • Must have photo ID
  • Must be receiving Medicaid
  • Present a Medicaid Award Letter
  • Attend an in-person appointment
  • Produce a birth certificate for your child
  • only 6 months
