Federal Judge blocks de-funding of Planned Parenthood by Texas

Here is some good news http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/federal-judge-stops-texas-from-banning-planned-parenthood-from-receiving-state-funds/2012/04/30/gIQAtmkyrT_story.html

A federal judge on Monday stopped Texas from preventing Planned Parenthood from getting state funds through the Women’s Health Program.

U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin ruled there is sufficient evidence that a law banning Planned Parenthood from the program is unconstitutional. He imposed an injunction against enforcing it until he can hear full arguments.
