Texas sues Obama administration in abortion dispute
 
The conflict began when the Texas Legislature inserted a "poison pill" into the Medicaid funding bill passed in 2011, which mandates that no funding under the program go to any facility that provides abortion services, even if no state money directly paid for abortions.
If the federal government did not agree to the waiver, the language requires that the program be discontinued.
 
Cindy Mann, the director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said on Thursday the federal government had no choice but to not renew the program because Texas' denial of funds for abortion restricts the freedom of choice of health providers and is not permitted under federal law.
 
With the decision, Texas became the first state to have its Medicaid Family Planning Demonstration Program canceled by the federal government. The program provides basic medical services, including breast and cervical cancer screening, and birth control, for 130,000 of the state's poorest women.
 
A representative from the Obama administration could not be reached for comment.
 
Rebecca Acuna, a spokeswoman for the Texas Democratic Party, said in a statement that Perry and Abbott are "wagering women's health in their political game of chicken."
