Jeb Bush Defunded Planned Parenthood…Here’s What Happened

"Jeb Bush defunded Planned Parenthood as governor of Florida, and all hell broke loose.
In 2001, just two years into his governorship, Bush cut over $300,000 from women’s health services through PP. That money he cut had been provided each year to Planned Parenthood for more than a decade. Here’s what the state got in return for $300k:
By 2014, the Center for Reproductive Rights released an evaluation that showed Florida tied with Arkansas and Oklahoma for the worst state for a women’s well-being.
The uninsured rate for women ballooned to 25%, coming in second to Texas.
Approximately 20% of women are found to be in fair, poor or ill health. Florida ranks 13th in that category out of all states and territories.
Approximately 20% of women do not have access to a personal doctor, physician, or general healthcare provider, three percentage points higher than the national average.
Florida ranks 46th in the number of women who have had a pap smear in the last 3 years.
Twenty-three of Florida’s 67 counties lack an OB-GYN, based on a 2014 survey
By 2030, demand for women’s healthcare providers will fall 18% short while the female population will increase by 50%
In most parts of Florida, women must travel more than an hour just to see a doctor"
