A Tiny Bit of Good News
from Shakesville
As we could all use some after this week, right? Very refreshing to post some good news for a change!
Last Tuesday I posted about how Planned Parenthood in Tennessee is suing the state because the state revoked grant funding for HIV & syphilis testing. Yesterday, Judge William Haynes granted a preliminary injunction to stop the state from halting funding.
