On Wednesday, a regional Planned Parenthood representative said\u00a0that the organization would likely sue state of Missouri after a Columbia family planning\u00a0facility\u00a0halted abortions this week, leaving just one facility\u00a0in the state that still performs them.<\/p>\n

Laura McQuade, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said the organization intends to sue<\/a> the state Department of Health and Senior Services if it revokes the facility’s abortion license.\u00a0State law requires that any physician who performs abortions must have admitting privileges at a hospital.\u00a0In September,\u00a0a panel of University of Missouri Health Care medical staff voted\u00a0to discontinue privileges to Planned Parenthood doctor Colleen McNicholas. The ruling takes effect next week.<\/p>\n

The ending of abortions at the Columbia facility\u00a0leaves only one facility\u00a0in Missouri which still offers abortions – Planned Parenthood of St. Louis.<\/p>\n

Kathy Forck of the 40 Days for Life campaign said the\u00a0end of abortions\u00a0at the Columbia clinic is “a victory for women’s health.”\u00a0She claims\u00a0pro-life groups plan to deliver more letters to the University Monday in support of the University’s breaking ties with Planned Parenthood. On the same day, Planned Parenthood plans to hold\u00a0a vigil and march on campus to protest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
