Missouri Could Lose Its Final Abortion Clinic This Week, Planned Parenthood Warns
The last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri could lose its license and be forced to close by the end of the week, Planned Parenthood said Tuesday.
Colleen McNicholas, an OB-GYN at the St. Louis Planned Parenthood clinic, said Tuesday the government was attempting to intimidate her and her colleagues. "This is not a drill. This is not a warning. This is a real public health crisis," Dr. Leana Wen, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood said during Tuesday's teleconference.
