"But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries."
Exodus 23:22
First things first, let's review relevant history:
- In 2013, the Texas Medical Association opposed HB 2. In 2011, the Texas Medical Association played political games with the Sonogram Law. Indeed, the Texas Medical Association has opposed every piece of pro-Life legislation Texas has passed over the past decade.
- The Texas Medical Association is a MAJOR obstacle to renovating Texas Advance Directives Act, which in its current form allows hospital "ethics committees" to cut off treatment against the wishes of patients and their families when they can make more money renting the bed out to someone else.
- During the past two legislative sessions, the Texas Medical Association has lobbied in favor of Medicaid Expansion under Obamacare.
Which makes THIS find from James Trimm VERY interesting:
Bottom Line: As if there weren't already plenty of reasons to #StickwithStickland, driving the Texas Medical Association INSANE is always a worthwhile activity.Fisher’s Biggest Contributor is TEXPACFisher’s largest single contributor was TexPac. TexPac is the political arm of the Texas Medical Association (TMA). TexPac donated $10,000, more than 10% of Fisher’s total support! Let me tell you, TexPac money is NOT pro-life money!
When the famous Pro-Life bill HB 2 was SB 5 (before Wendy Davis Filibustered SB 5 and it was reintroduced as HB 2) TMA stood strongly against SB 5/ HB 2 and called it a “legislative intrusion into the patient-physician relationship” that “sets a dangerous precedent of the legislature prescribing the details of the practice of medicine.”
