Missouri down to one abortion clinic as new law takes effect

Women seeking abortions will have to go to Planned Parenthood's St. Louis clinic or travel to neighboring states, said a Planned Parenthood spokesperson.

EFFERSON CITY, Mo.— Missouri is down to one clinic providing abortions Wednesday, after the only other clinic in the state that performs the procedure failed to adhere to new state requirements.

Federal appeals court judges ruled last month that Missouri can enforce a requirement that doctors must have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals before they can perform abortions. The judges issued a mandate Monday for that rule to officially take effect.

The Columbia Planned Parenthood clinic was unable to secure physician privileges to comply with the requirement, so it cancelled abortions scheduled for Wednesday, which would have been the first since the mandate was issued, Planned Parenthood Great Plains spokeswoman Emily Miller said. The clinic continues to provide other health care services.

If the feminists found out that Planned Parenthood used coat hangers for their abortions they would still support them.

"Planned Parenthood only uses sterilized coat hangers."

I am sure there is more than one abortion clinic.

Planned Parenthood Murder Inc isnt the omly abortion company out there. The article states Planned Parenthood is down to one clinic, but the fact is there could be many other abortion clinics under different ownership there.

Cape Girardeau, MO had an abortion clinic years ago. The guy who rented out space for the clinic was a local businessman. One by one, his businesses went bankrupt. Finally the clinic closed, his name disappeared from the building and I think the he moved out of town, certainly haven’t heard anything about him for years.

Don’t get me wrong, I am Pro-Life. However I struggle with the abortion issue for a reason most don’t think about. It is my beleif that by far the majority of aborted children are by parents who are either liberals or just non-political takers. These children would almost certainly follow in their parents footsteps and the number of liberal takers, i.e. democrats, would so outnumber republicans that our country would quickly become another Venezuela.

Anyone who can look at a modern sonogram and still abort a baby is pure evil.

Agree. Leftists have killed off many of their voters. They would hold absolute power now if they were anti-abortion. How’s that for irony?

“... doctors must have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals before they can perform abortions.”

Is that too much to ask?

They wouldn’t want to take the chance of accidently saving a newborns life.
