PHOENIX (Reuters) – A federal judge barred Arizona on Friday from applying a new law that bars Planned Parenthood’s health clinics from receiving money through the state because the organization also performs abortions.

District Court Neil Wake granted a temporary injunction to Planned Parenthood, which had sued Arizona to block the law in July. He denied the state’s motion to dismiss the case.
