(AP) – The latest legal skirmish over a new Kansas law designed to strip federal funds from a Planned Parenthood chapter is expected to take place Tuesday in a federal courtroom in Wichita.

A Dodge City clinic with no ties to Planned Parenthood is seeking a court order forcing the state to resume payment of the federal family planning money. The Dodge City clinic says without the money it will be forced to close and leave about 650 mostly low-income patients without access to reproductive health care services.

But lawyers for the state contend those patients would continue to have access to a full array of medical services elsewhere.

Among the issues the judge must consider is whether an order to resume the payments would be in the public interest.
