Why Keep Secrets About Texas Women's Health?

The Burnt Orange Report had an Article, Why Keep Secrets About Texas Women's Health? which states that there was an Article about Senator Nelson written from The New England Journal of Medicine stating that there was a big effect on low-income women in Texas by reducing the provision of highly effective methods of contraception, interrupting contraceptive continuation, and increasing the rate of childbirth covered by medicaid.

Senator Nelson calls it "report," which it clearly is not-it's a peer-reviewed academic article. Senator Nelson wrote a letter backing up her assertion that there has never been more care available to Texas women.

Liz Burr explains a lot in her blog and clearly has a lot of back up research. Burr makes a good argument about the information that she has provided and it is clearly prepared with her research on Senator Nelson. She states that Senator Nelson only is concern about the things they write about her, but does not mentioned anything about the cutting Planned Parenthood out of the Women's Health Program in 2011 and the state's difficulty in implementing a replacement program, which was well-documented in the 2013 legislative session.

Ms. Burr makes an outstanding argument and specially because she has her facts and research presented well. There is nothing really to critique here because I would be doing the same thing.
