AUSTIN, Texas – Texas will be able to cut off state funding to Planned Parenthood,
at least for now, after a federal appeals court lifted an order that had
blocked a new law banning funds to organizations linked to abortion providers
from taking effect.
The
5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that the state can turn
off the funding spigot pending trial, though Texas intends to continue funding
its broader program to provide women access to health care. The high-profile
dispute has pitted the state of Texas against both Planned Parenthood and the
Obama administration.
