|Updated:

The Ohio Department of Health is terminating grants and contracts that send money to Planned Parenthood after a federal appeals court upheld a state law that blocks public money from the organization since it provides elective abortions.

The department notified recipients and contractors on March 21 that it will cut funding within a month to comply with the law unless the court delays the effect of its ruling as Planned Parenthood requested.
