Judge Temporarily Halts Texas Cuts To Planned Parenthood

 

  AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ longtime effort to end Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood is on hold again. A judge in Austin on Wednesday issued a temporary restraining order that blocks the state from moving ahead for now. Planned Parenthood says more than 8,000 low-income residents would lose access to non-abortion health services at its clinics if Texas succeeds. Opponents of legal abortion have long sought to deny federal Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood clinics.
