“This is not a drill. This is not a warning. This is a real public health crisis,” Leana Wen, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement.
Planned Parenthood announced on Tuesday that the last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri is expected to shut down in the upcoming days after the state allegedly declined to renew it’s annual license.
If the facilitty is shuttered, Missouri would be the first state without an abortion clinic since the landmark Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade. The 1973 decision legalized abortion nationwide and made it a constituional right for women to have access to the procedure. According to a report by CBS News, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services notified Planned Parenthood last week about three issues that could affect their renewal. The group said it would solve two of the problems, which included adding an extra pelvic exam for women seeking abortions and adjusting their state-mandated counseling services.
