Planned Parenthood will remain eligible for Medicaid funds in Texas until a court rules on the merits of the state's case against the organization, a federal judge has determined.
On Tuesday, US District Judge Sam Sparks of Austin granted Planned Parenthood an injunction, temporarily blocking state lawmakers' efforts to terminate around $4 million in Medicaid reimbursements for non-abortion services to the organization. That effort, he wrote, “would deprive Medicaid patients of their statutory right to obtain health care from their chosen qualified provider.” The injunction will protect medical services for these patients until the case goes to trial, he indicated.

Saner minds are prevailing in Texas.
