The Missouri Senate has voted to pass a nearly clean FRA bill, without banning Medicaid coverage for birth control (including IUDs and emergency contraception), and without the so-called “defunding” of Planned Parenthood health centers.

Statement from Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri:

“While access to birth control and Planned Parenthood health centers were protected tonight, the fight for a clean FRA funding bill is not over. This is what it looks like to fight together for the most marginalized people among us. All providers and patients — of Planned Parenthood, nursing homes, hospitals, and other safety-nets — deserve better than to be treated like political bargaining chips. Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri and our partners won’t back down, not today, not ever.”
