Texas judge approves ban on Planned Parenthood funding

A state judge ruled Monday that Texas can cut off funding to Planned Parenthood’s family planning programs, forcing thousands of women to seek alternative state-approved doctors for their annual exams, cancer screenings and contraceptives. The move comes under conditions where primary care providers for poor women are already in short supply.
Judge Gary Harger said Texas can exclude qualified doctors and clinics from receiving funding through the state’s Women’s Health Program (WHP) if clinics “advocate” for abortion rights—the so-called affiliate rule. The WHP currently provides preventive care to 110,000 poor women, including 48,000 served by Planned Parenthood.
