Planned Parenthood can be in Texas health program, court says - Yahoo! News: "AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Planned Parenthood can participate for now in a Texas health program for low-income women despite a new state rule that bans affiliates of abortion providers, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday.
The court order from the 5th U.S. Circuit -- which lifts an emergency halt that was put in place on earlier this week -- is the latest in a series of alternating victories for Planned Parenthood and Texas. But the court battle is not over.
The program, which is part of the federal-state Medicaid program, provides cancer screenings, birth control and other health services to more than 100,000 women in Texas."
