HAYS, Kansas, August 30, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Planned Parenthood says that a referral clinic in Hays, Kansas will close this Friday unless Planned Parenthood receives a guarantee that government funding for the clinic will be restored.
Earlier this year, Kansas passed a law that allowed the state to reprioritize the distribution of Title X family planning funds to legitimate clinics and hospitals that don’t have ties to abortion.
Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri had been receiving $330,000 in public funds annually. This year those funds were disbursed to other clinics and hospitals that can supply family planning services without any ties to abortion. Planned Parenthood is now trying to use the courts to get that money back.
Last month, Federal Judge Thomas Marten ordered that the tax dollars be restored to Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood had argued that losing the public funds would cause “irreparable harm” and argued that all the money was used to keep non-abortion clinics open in Hays and Wichita. That ruling is on appeal.

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri has struggled since being charged with 107 criminal counts in 2007. That case is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in October.
They are crying about not receiving tax dollars and they have 107 criminal charges pending against them?????
We gotta get this country turned around with the 2012 elections...
topher? not the topher?
Were that hell-hole a bank or an actual hospital, it would have been forcibly shut down years ago.
Maybe they'll wash the blood off their filthy hands from the thousands of babies they've slaughtered over the years.

Last one out...shot off the lights.
I am confused how is saving innocent children, saving tax dollars and closing down a Planned murder clinic an bad thing?
“referral clinics?” why, those would be middlemen. why pay middlemen?
I know it’s not even close to an example but maybe you should have phrased it.... “you’ve knocked out so many innocent infants lights that you’ll finally see what it’s like to be forced into an unlit world”... I just can’t imagine how you’ll get through life without killing human beings! (sarcasm off!)...
please. Put money in one pocket and money gets shifted from another pocket. ANY funding for PP supports abortion. You can’t just fill the deep end of the pool.
They’re shutting down here also for lack of $61 million in state funding through Medicaid. Yes, our prayers were answered...
Notice in this article how they try to deny that prayers had anything to do with it...
I cannot see a downside to this.
Aparently with this government, it pays more to suck the teat of government subsidys than the blood of babies.
Dry up the blood supply and the vampires find another place to play.
On the other hand, I am shocked at how cheap it is to kill a baby now. Talk about an industry putting itself out of business. A simple surgery to fix a trigger finger tendon cost 17,000 dollars AFTER insurance! And it was 17 minutes on the table. Here an abortion taking longer is 500 bucks?!
What the heck?!
55 years ago my parents moved their family out of Hays, KS to get a fresh start for their children. Our oldest sister had a child out of wedlock & that was forbidden in a land without pity. She was also handicapped & small towns did not have facilities to train them to take care of themselves like we provide today through our tax dollars. Her daughter was raised as our sister & we still treat her that way today. She has 2 wonderful sons & a precious granddaughter. There is no way I could go back to Hays & live with those do gooders. Glad to see them sending planned parenthood on their way.
