The state of Texas has tried unsuccessfully to cut Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood. A federal judge in the Western District of Texas issued a preliminary injunction allowing for 30 health centers and 12,500 Medicaid patients to continue to receive funding. The judge said the state failed to substantiate the claim that the organization “violated medical or ethical standards related to abortion procedures.”
