Planned Parenthood Freaks Out: By Friday, Missouri May Be First State With No Abortion Clinics

On Tuesday, Planned Parenthood’s president, Leana Wen, issued a panicked tweet because if the state of Missouri doesn’t renew by Friday Planned Parenthood’s license for its clinic in St. Louis, Missouri will be the first state that doesn’t have a single abortion clinic.

Wen tweeted, “If Planned Parenthood’s St. Louis health center cannot provide abortion care, this will be the first time since 1974 that safe, legal abortion care will be inaccessible to people in an entire state.”
