Missouri’s Ob-Gyns Oppose Eight Week Ban on Abortion
May 17, 2019 • Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri
The Missouri Section of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists strongly opposes HB 126, a medically unjustified and dangerous bill. It represents unnecessary political interference in the patient-provider relationship, granting politicians final decision-making power over individual health care decisions specific to pregnancy with no acknowledgement of its complicated and unpredictable nature.

State Legislature Fails Missourians by Passing Extreme, Dangerous Abortion Ban
May 17, 2019 • Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri
The Missouri Legislature ends its 2019 session today after passing one of the nation’s most extreme abortion bans. House Bill 126 criminalizes abortion as early as eight weeks, before many people even know they are pregnant. This dangerous attack on health care has drawn unprecedented opposition from physicians, patients, community leaders, and everyday Missourians alike.

Planned Parenthood Advocates Condemns Dangerous, Extreme Abortion Ban Passed by Missouri Senate
May 16, 2019 • Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri
“Politicians are putting the health and lives of Missouri women at risk in their race to make our state the one that overturns Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court. These bans on safe, legal abortion will have real costs — expensive legal costs and human costs for the women and families who need reproductive health care.

Statement from M'Evie Mead and Dr. Leana Wen in response to Gov. Parson
May 15, 2019 • Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri
Gov. Parson is willfully aiding in the systematic downturn of health outcomes across our state, and banning safe, legal abortion is just the latest effort.

Statement from M'Evie Mead and Dr. Leana Wen in response to Gov. Parson
May 15, 2019 • Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri
“The state of health care in Missouri is abysmal. Gov. Parson is willfully aiding in the systematic downturn of health outcomes across our state, and banning safe, legal abortion is just the latest effort. Parson is willfully ignoring the syphilis outbreak and the rising maternal mortality rate happening on his watch. Shame on him for suggesting the government should have a say in when and whether someone becomes a parent.
