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?
