(Worthy News) -A federal appeals court has ruled that Texas and Louisiana can legally cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed an earlier ruling by an appellate panel that barred Texas from enforcing a ban on Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood and also reversed a ruling in a separate case preventing Louisiana from doing the same, according to Fox News.

“While the statute unambiguously provides that a Medicaid beneficiary has the right to obtain services from the qualified provider of her choice, [the law] does not unambiguously say that a beneficiary may contest or otherwise challenge a determination that the provider of her choice is unqualified,” Chief Judge Priscilla Owen, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in the majority opinion. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
