Court Bars Indiana From Blocking Planned Parenthood Funding 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
In other news from Indiana, a federal appeals court has blocked a state
effort to deny Medicaid funds to the reproductive services group Planned
Parenthood. On Tuesday, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that
Planned Parenthood's services cannot be cut simply because it also
provides abortions. Critics had warned the move would have left
thousands of low-income Indiana residents without medical services.
