State argued that it is not required to subsidize organizations that advocate elective abortions
AUSTIN, Texas — A federal appeals court ruled late Tuesday that Texas can cut off funding for Planned Parenthood clinics that provide health services to low-income women before a trial over a new law that bans state money from going to organizations tied to abortion providers.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans lifted a federal judge's temporary injunction calling for the funding to continue pending an October trial on Planned Parenthood's challenge to the law.
Texas officials sought to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood clinics that provide family planning and health services to poor women after the state's Republican-led Legislature passed a law banning funds to organizations linked to abortion providers. No state money goes to pay for abortions.

Excellent. No government money for the purpose of killing babies. Period.
GOOD!
The Sandra Flukes of Texas should pay for their own “birth control”.
Texas Akbar! Texas is giving them heck right now. the state also just won two cases against the EPA in federal appeals courts in as many weeks.

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !
Yes!
Big Abortion will continue to add to its losing streak, in state legislatures and in the courts.
“It’s Romney and Ryan’s fault”. - The “progressive” commie lib crybabies.
“The Texas attorney general argued lawmakers may decide which organizations receive state funds.”
Are we really at the point where we have to argue in court that our legislature has the right to determine how state money is spent?
The idiot neal boortz was apaplectic today over the republicans position on baby killing.What the hell is wrong with these closet liberals.He retires in january and I dont know which I am looking forward to.Bamster getting fired or boortz being gone.
How absurd that a private organization thinks it can demand public funds
Are we really at the point where we have to argue in court that our legislature has the right to determine how state money is spent?
Apparently so. It took an appeals panel of three judges to overturn the original court ruling. Our country needs to be taken back
The idiot neal boortz was apaplectic today over the republicans position on baby killing.
Wonder how his fellow liberaltarian, Ron Paul feels about the issue?
For later.
Ron Paul has been against Planned Parenthood funding so I imagine he’d be supportive of this ruling.
I’m liking Texas more and more.
I’m sure he would too. I’m just noting the very different views of prominent Libertarins
