Planned Parenthood plans to defy Missouri law, endangering state's last abortion clinic, report says
Gregg Re

Planned Parenthood of St. Louis plans to defy a regulation that Missouri says legally requires women to undergo two pelvic exams prior to obtaining an abortion, as state health officials get set to decide whether to renew the clinic's medical license.

If the St. Louis facility is closed, Missouri would be the first state without a functioning abortion clinic since 1974, the year after the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.

In a statement to Fox News on Thursday, Dr. Colleen McNicholas, an OBGYN for the Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region, said the orgainzation was simply rejecting Missouri's improper policy determination, not defying the law.

Why is Planned Parenthood not willing to administer pelvic exams?  Do they not care about women's health?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
