Steven Ertelt outlines Planned Parenthood’s latest losses in Kansas tax-funding in his recent article on LifeNews.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is suing the state of Kansas over the passage of a new law that re-directs taxpayer funding from it to local health departments. But that hasn\u2019t stopped the state from sending most of its funding elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has already shifted $204,000 in taxpayer funding previously meant for the abortion business to the Sedgwick County health department to expand its family planning services without doing abortions. New records the Associated Press obtained indicated that the funds were sent to the health department three days after Planned Parenthood filed its lawsuit over a law pro-life Gov. Sam Brownback signed to revoke its taxpayer funding.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kansas has been quick to redirect funds to more health providers with more comprehensive service offerings than Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

The law shifts funding away from the Planned Parenthood abortion business and stops abortion funding in health insurance programs. The legislation follows a new law in Indiana that made the state the first to yank millions from Planned Parenthood by cutting off its revenue stream from Medicaid. The Kansas Senate passed the measure on a 28-10 vote and the state House followed suit with an 86-30 vote.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Kathy Ostrowski of Kansans for Life described to LifeNews how the budget provision works.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kansas budget directs that family planning services financed in any way under \u201cTitle X\u201d federal rules must be contracted primarily with public health clinics and secondarily with qualified non-public hospitals or health centers that provide comprehensive health care\u2013primary and preventative,\u201d she said. \u201cIn plain language, Kansas wants to support the local health clinics that see patients of all ages and provide a wide range of services including immunizations, screenings, physicals, and referrals. These health clinics are easily accessible, important to a community and serve the poor. By definition of their limited practices, Planned Parenthood fails in this mission.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
