U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle made permanent an earlier decision to temporarily halt those portions of the law from going into effect while a lawsuit filed against the state by Planned Parenthood was ongoing.
Earlier this month, the two parties reached an agreement to end the suit. In it, health officials agreed to the terms of Hinkle's earlier ruling.
Gov. Rick Scott signed the abortion law this spring. It blocked state and local money from preventive services such as sexually transmitted disease and cancer screenings at abortion clinics. State law already bans taxpayer-funded abortions.
