HOUSTON — A federal judge Monday stopped Texas from banning Planned Parenthood clinics from a state women's health program because the organization provides abortions. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin cited evidence that the state rule excluding Planned Parenthood from the program was unconstitutional and imposed an injunction against enforcing the rule until he can hear arguments in the case.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's office appealed the injunction, which temporarily stopped 49 Planned Parenthood clinics from being removed from the state program. Planned Parenthood officials in Texas praised the judge's ruling, which they said helps protect the women they serve.
Oh good, more illiterate judges... just what we need.
A victory.

My family has supported PP PP for generations here in Texas.
which is their choice, certainly.
....not sure the state should be forced to fund them though.
if that's going to be the case, i'm going to look for a business to set up to hold Texans hostage to being my customers.... which seem to be a trend in this country.
And abortions. Don't forget that.
Good luck with that business:roll:
What PP does is provide things like pap smears and breast cancer screenings.

no luck needed when you have the law on your side.
I know what PP does... i've been on the earth for quite some time now.
it's not even done in that court yet... this judge only placed a temporary injunction on the state until he can hear arguments.This isn't over. We'll just have to see as the judicial decisions travel upward.
Defund ≠ Ban.And people say Conservatives don't want to end PP... :roll:
I am going to bet Conservatives tried to ban PP from Texas and not Liberals... what a joke.
So what do they do?

a whole host of women's health services
i'm near 60 years old, but i do stay up late... i'm sure i could gather up a comprehensive list of all their services if i were so inclined to do so... but seeing as how you are supposedly an ardent supporter of PP, i'm sure you already know what they do... correct?
And abortions. Don't forget that.

It may well end or significantly downsize PP in Texas, but not nationally. Many think it should be disbanded, but there has been no legislative action that points towards that as a possibility.Massive defunding could spell the end to any organization... Conservatives are not worried about PP disappearing. I am not naive, I know a lot pro lifers think PP should be banned.
I asked you first. And you seem to be opposed to their objectives. And I'm more curious as to why you would oppose that.
And yes I know what they do from providing pap smears to breast cancer screenings to abortions AS WELL AS BIRTH CONTROL.
