Back in the United States, a federal judge has blocked Texas from defunding Planned Parenthood. Judge Sam Sparks issued an injunction in favor of the women’s healthcare organization, after Texas tried to cut off Medicaid funding for non-abortion services to Planned Parenthood. Texas had falsely and unsuccessfully accused Planned Parenthood of selling fetal tissue, drawing on heavily edited and widely discredited anti-choice videos as evidence. The ruling makes Texas the sixth state where courts have blocked efforts to defund Planned Parenthood at the state level.
