Kan barred from cutting family planning funds
U S District Judge J Thomas Marten extended a preliminary injunction blocking Kansas from stripping federal family planning funds from Planned Parenthood clinics in Wichita and Hays and an unaffiliated Dodge City clinic. The ruling aims to move the dispute to the 10th U S Circuit Court of Appeals, with the state expected to appeal. The suit challenges a 2011 2012 Kansas law directing federal funds to public health departments and hospitals first, leaving no money for specialty clinics.
