Missouri Planned Parenthood says legal action likely
Laura McQuade, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said the organization would sue the state Department of Health and Senior Services if it revokes the clinic's abortion license.
[...] Missouri's only abortion clinic is in St. Louis, which performs both surgical abortions and pill-induced ones; women in western Missouri can visit a Planned Parenthood facility in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kansas.
The panel voted in the face of mounting political pressure as state lawmakers investigated abortion in the state, spurred by undercover videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing the transfer of fetal tissue that anti-abortion activists released starting in July.
