Oh, it was just yesterday. Nevermind. The story isn’t finished yet. Yesterday was supposed to be the official end to Planned Parenthood’s participation in the state’s Medicaid program. Just like that, a last-minute lawsuit was filed by Planned Parenthood affiliates on Wednesday. This battle isn’t over yet. State District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble, a Democrat, issued a 14-day temporary restraining order blocking the move just hours before it went into effect. The judges of the Texas District Courts are chosen in elections. Guerra Gamble assumed office on January 1, 2019.
