Planned Parenthood said Wednesday that three of its Florida clinics will resume performing first-trimester abortions, although state health officials warn they are still investigating the organization.
The organization had asked a judge Monday to allow it to continue performing abortions, alleging the state had suddenly changed its definition of first-trimester abortions.
