The following can be attributed to Terri Burke, Executive Director of the ACLU of Texas.

“In a state that has decided to spend less on our children's educations, it isn't surprising that now it cuts state spending on health care for poor women. The result is that while the state thumbs its nose at $9 of federal money for every $10 spent on this critical preventive health care, public hospitals will end up picking up the tab.”
