 Planned Parenthood sues to stop Kansas’ Title X tax money from being prioritized to full-serve facilities

Last Monday, Planned Parenthood (PP) filed suit in federal court to force the state of Kansas to give PP nearly one-third million dollars in tax money.

the entire endeavor is a plan to end abortion in Kansas.
