U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks granted a temporary restraining order in order to give himself time to review an eight-hour long undercover video taken by anti-abortion activists, according to KCEN.

For its part, Planned Parenthood has denied any wrongdoing. The organization said it provides non-abortion services to around 11,000 low-income women in Texas every year through Medicaid.
