Planned Parenthood Files a Defunding Lawsuit Against the State of Missouri
Planned Parenthood on Thursday sued Missouri over an attempt to block it from receiving any public funding.
At issue is a bill passed by the Republican-led Legislature and signed by GOP Gov. Mike Parson last month to stop reimbursing Planned Parenthood for health care for low-income Medicaid patients, including clinics that do not provide abortions.
The provision was included in a stopgap budget that covers state expenses for the next few months.
