Texas Strikes Planned Parenthood

From CNN:

(CNN) -- Texas won another battle against Planned Parenthood this week. 

A federal appeals court, on Thursday, refused to grant another hearing to the organization, a decision that stops the organization's fight against Texas' effort to ban state funding for Planned Parenthood affiliates. 

Texas Gov. Rick Perry applauded the decision, by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. 

"Today's ruling affirms yet again that in Texas the Women's Health Program has no obligation to fund Planned Parenthood and other organizations that perform or promote abortion. In Texas we choose life, and we will immediately begin defunding all abortion affiliates to honor and uphold that choice," Perry said.
