I still don’t get it, how a woman has a “right” to kill her child. It’s insane. Never fear that Planned Parenthood is there to protect that “right”. It seems PP is in a tizzy that Missouri has passed a law, which goes into effect next Tuesday, that would require abortion clinics to meet certain already-established state health standards. Wow! Really? Planned Parenthood thinks the law will infringe on “abortion rights”.
Jefferson City, Aug 22, 2007 / 10:43 am (CNA).- Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit Monday seeking to strike down a new Missouri law that requires abortion clinics to meet the same state health and safety standards already applied to other types of ambulatory surgical centers.
The federal lawsuit contends that the law, which takes effect Aug. 28, would infringe on abortion rights, and asks a judge for an injunction blocking it.
Among the new requirements noted in the lawsuit: outpatient surgery centers must have halls at least six feet wide and doors at least 44 inches wide; there must be separate male and female changing rooms for personnel; and a recovery room with space for at least four beds with three feet of clearance around each.
Planned Parenthood claims the law could eliminate abortion services in parts of the state by subjecting clinics to stringent state oversight. The required renovations, it claims, are costly and “medically unnecessary.??
In particular, Planned Parenthood fears the law could put two of its abortion centers ” one in Columbia and the other in Kansas City ” out of business. Planned Parenthood contends that already existing facilities should be exempt from meeting the new physical requirements.
God forbid the state puts the health of patients, even those seeking to kill their babies, above the money-making capabilities of the abortion mills.
Ugh… Planned Parenthood makes me sick as usual…
