12 States Suing Biden Administration Over Abortion Funds
Ohio's top lawyer is suing the Biden administration to restore a Trump-era ban on abortion referrals by family planning clinics that was reversed earlier this month.
The action Monday by Ohio's GOP Attorney General Dave Yost in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati was joined by 11 other states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and West Virginia.
The two rules Yost wants reinstated were passed in 2019. One required federally funded family planning clinics to be physically and financially independent of abortion clinics. The other required them to refrain from referring patients for abortions.
He said both rules were intended as firewalls between clinics' family planning services, which can receive taxpayer funding, and their abortion services, which cannot.
"You can't 'follow the money' when all the money is dumped into one pot and mixed together," Yost said in a statement announcing the action Monday.
"Federal law prohibits taxpayer funding of abortion – and that law means nothing if the federal money isn't kept separate."
