Ana Kasparian (The Point) and John Iadarola (Think Tank) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

“Alabama called off a legal battle with Planned Parenthood on Monday after a federal judge last month blocked the state from defunding the reproductive health organization's clinics amid national controversy about its handling of aborted fetal tissue.
In a joint court filing, both parties said that Alabama had resumed funding of Planned Parenthood clinics in Mobile and Birmingham, and the clinics were following state regulations.
The agreement followed an order by U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson to stop Alabama from terminating its agreement with a Planned Parenthood regional affiliate providing services under Medicaid, the federal and state healthcare program for the poor.
The state agreed to pay $51,000 in legal fees in settling the lawsuit, the Associated Press reported.
"This is an important victory for our patients in Alabama who will be able to keep getting high-quality health care and would have suffered if the state had pushed forward with this political agenda," Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement.”
