A federal appeals court reinstated an order blocking Texas from enforcing a rule that would keep Planned Parenthood-affiliated groups from taking part in a state-funded women’s health program.

The organizations sued Texas April 11 to block the regulation, which bars the state from contracting with entities affiliated with abortion providers. It was designed to exclude the operators of 49 health centers from the program after April 30. Planned Parenthood argued the rule is unconstitutional.
