Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri seeks a federal injunction to block the state statute defunding its Title X funded clinics in Wichita and Hays. The case questions constitutional limits, with the state arguing sovereignty and Planned Parenthood citing the Supremacy Clause. Title X funds support thousands of contraception and screening services for low income residents.

The state funded Ozanam Pathways houses foster teens with juvenile offenders including sex offenders in their 20s. Each resident lives alone in a single apartment as the program follows state policies. Officials say referrals depend on state agencies and that other Kansas programs also mix youths and offenders. The custody agency plans to separate juveniles from foster teens moving forward.
