It's been a rough few years for women's rights in Kansas, so it's good to see pro-choice winning the legal battle to keep abortion services in the Sunflower State.
This morning, U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten ordered Kansas to resume funding Planned Parenthood immediately. Planned Parenthood contended that if the state took away its $330,000 in federal Title X annual funding, the organization would be forced to close its clinic in Hays, as well as severely limiting access to services for the clinic's 5,700 patients.
This is the second loss for Republican legislators at the courthouse. In July, a federal judge in KCK issued a temporary injunction against new licensing rules for abortion providers that would change requirements on what drugs and equipment must be stocked, as well as adding new regulations on room sizes and temperatures.
Separate lawsuits challenging the defunding and the new clinic regulations are making their way through the courts.

Maybe the feds should just let this go through, so that Kansas can have a taste of the government it's elected?
