As Missouri abortion ban returns, Planned Parenthood responds to the legal whiplash

A Missouri Supreme Court ruling last week has, for now, reinstated the state's ban on abortion. It’s a familiar development for doctors and patients here in Missouri — and, for Planned Parenthood, part of a yearslong fight that has only grown more entrenched. The recently appointed chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, Dr. Margaret Baum, shares her reaction to the Missouri Supreme Court decision and the closing of Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide. She also responds to claims by Missouri’s Attorney General Andrew Bailey that Planned Parenthood uses “moldy equipment” and “unqualified medical practitioners.”
