A federal judge has overturned a state law in Arizona barring funding for the reproductive services group Planned Parenthood. The law banned the use of public funds by state or local government to contract with any organization that provides abortions as one of its services. In his ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Neil Wake found the law unlawfully denies Medicaid recipients the right to choose their medical options. Planned Parenthood had won an injunction against the law in October. In a statement, Planned Parenthood of Arizona said: “Politics should never interfere with a woman’s breast exam or birth control. … Our health centers are open today and they will be open tomorrow.”
