The state of Kansas will appeal the latest ruling from a federal judge forcing the state to send taxpayer funds to the Planned Parenthood abortion business. The state announced it will comply with the most recent decision.
U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten ruled that Kansas must fund the abortion business even though it did not cancel any contracts with the agency that were in effect at the time a new state provision went into place denying taxpayer funding via the family planning program to any agencies that do abortions.

Responding to the ruling, Kansans for Life legislative director Kathy Ostrowski said, “It is mind-boggling that this judge thinks he has the authority to give taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood with no legal basis.”
