Statement by Gov. Perry on the Rejection of Planned Parenthood’s Attempt to Derail Texas Women’s Health Program

Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement regarding the state district court's decision to deny Planned Parenthood's request to participate in the Texas Women's Health Program:

"This is great news for Texas women and further proves that Planned Parenthood's case attempting to derail the Texas Women's Health Program lacks merit and is nothing more than a desperate move by an organization more concerned with obtaining taxpayer money than with helping women get care. With this ruling, our state can continue caring for Texas women."
