Texas Abortion Bill: Money Is Such A Beautiful Word

I meant, can the info be proven, as far as his sister benefiting from this law.

I'm sure that some of the ambulatory services will turn into abortion providers and thus the sister will make some money. However, there are people above her in the company, so she doesn't have absolute say in what happens.

But, and I do feel a lot of people (and the article) have jumped to conclusions. There is nothing proving that this bill was crafted or pushed with the intent of Govenor Perry creating business for his sister. Govenor Perry has good reasons* to push this through the legislature; he's a republican with a republican majority in his state Congress and a lot of other GOP state Congresses have done the same. I see no mention of Perry's sister saying she stands to benefit or has a view one way or another with this legislation. She very well could be pro-life and wind up doing all she can to keep her company from providing these money-making abortions. To me, this looks purely coincidental.

*Good reason here means a valid reason independent of family gains, not necessarily a reason I think to be a good idea. Words escape me.

There was someone in the comments who defended her by saying that if her company was going to provide these services, they'd be doing it already (though I think this underestimates just how powerful financial influence can be).  However, if this whole thing does turn out to be true, it'll be an extremely delicious form of irony when juxtaposed with the Ohio bill that tells doctors that they have to tell prospective patients how much money they'll make off of an abortion.

Well, if this law passes, the place she works and has power in would be able to provide abortions and be one of the few locations able to.
