On Wednesday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey issued a Cease and Desist Order against Planned Parenthood facilities in Missouri, formally prohibiting them from performing chemical abortions in violation of state law. In the press release, Bailey stated that the order was “a necessary enforcement mechanism to prevent Planned Parenthood from continuing to disregard Missouri law and to protect the health and safety of Missouri women.”
“The FDA acknowledges that over 4.5% of women who undergo chemical abortions experience complications requiring emergency medical care”, said Bailey. “Despite this, Planned Parenthood has openly admitted that it intends to continue performing chemical abortions in the future and that they do not have an approved complication plan in place, as required by Missouri law.”
