A federal judge reversed his prior decision and ruled that Utah has the authority to end its contracts with Planned Parenthood and eliminate the organization’s federal funding in that state.
U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups upheld Gov. Gary Herbert’s (R) August order blocking $275,000 from Planned Parenthood’s affiliate in Utah.
“Indeed, these are the types of decisions that should be left to elected officials,” Waddoups wrote, “and not managed by the courts.”
Herbert said the federal funding that would have gone to Planned Parenthood will be redirected to 26 health agencies in the state in 49 locations, reports The Salt Lake Tribune
