Missouri is onto its last Abortion Clinic

On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Missouri is onto its last abortion clinic. They are down to one abortion clinic because of the abortion laws in the state. Recently the Columbia Planned Parenthood clinic, had their licence expire. The clinic also failed to meet a new state requirement. The requirement, allows Missouri to enforce doctors to allow admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. Before abortions are completed. Planned Parenthood, has asked US Western District Court Judge Brian Wimes, to temporarily close the Columbia Clinic from the state's requirment. But, the decision has yet to be confirmed. Judge Wimes, can still allow the abortions to continue at the clinic. The last Planned Parenthood clinic in the state, is in St. Louis. Emily Miller, a planned parenthood spokeswoman, hopes the Colombia clinic will get another licence soon. So, they can continue their work.

Do you think there should be more Planned Parenthood Clinics? 

I think there needs to be at least one Planned Parenthood Clinic available. The clinics help with healthcare services and parenting services not just abortion. The clinic would also be available for people who are unable to afford a proper health care service. With the clinics properly provided, I think young teens will start to care more about their personal health. 

Why do you think Planned Parenthood Clinics are becoming so limited?

Abortion is starting to become a problem in the US. The clinics are going out of business because they are seen as a way out of a pregnancy. The clinics should be a source of help for everyone. If they were properly provided, I think teens and adults would be more educated on their personal health. They would then turn to a different option instead of abortion.

  • Well done!!

  • I think that planned parenthood clinics are becoming so limited because abortion is another main cause that many people do not support, I do not support abortion. I do not feel like anybody should kill a baby when it was there fault that they just could of not get pregnant. I feel like the clinics are going out of business because so many people disagree with obortion. 

  • Yes because maybe someone can't get into that one or they don't have the room for them. There should always be more then one so more people can be put in more than one person. Then again not many have kids here, but out there it could be diffrent. Maybe bc they want teens to finish highschool. Maybe if there isnt a clinic they can't go there they have to deal with it and grow up. Maybe there trying to say its a choice you made now you have to fix it. Maybe there doing it because their tiered of killing babys that don't even have a chance because someone didn't want to use protection or it broke or she isn't on the pill.

  • I think every state should at least have one clinic because they don't just do abortions. They offer so many other healthcare services as well and parenting advice/aid. The reason these are becoming more limited is because abortion is really controversial in our country, and the majority of political leaders right now are against abortion. 

  • There for sure should be a least one clinic, so the women still have someowhere to go. This is becoming a very mimited resource and so many people are agasint this choice. Women have a choice on what they want to do. Maybe they tink it's the best thing instead of having the kids live a horrible life. 

  • I think there should be at least one Planned Parenthood Clinic so there is still a choice for women. I think a good amount would be 2-4 because the clinics also have other uses. I think it is becoming very limited because many people are against it. I think they should be used for teaching options other than abortions, but I also think people could choose abortion as an option if they were in danger.

  • I think that there should still be one Planned Parenthood Clinic. The clinics have other uses besides just abortion. It helps parent's plan for when the baby is coming if they are keeping it. Aborortion is becoming a hot topic in the US. Many are against abortions and want them to be illegal. I think that if someone isn't ready to be a parent abortion is an option, but there are better options out there than abortion. 

  • I don't think there should be any more planned parenthood clinics. I don't think it's right that they offer abortion there even though they are offering other services as well. They should just get rid of the abortion services and leave the others and then I think it would be much better. Plus, doing this may not make clinics become so limited because they aren't offering abortions anymore.

    • I do not like that they provide abortion, but the services they offer is great. I think if they were to get rid of abortion, their name would make more sence. Planned Parenthood would actually work by their name. They would actually help people with planning for becoming a parent. There would probably be more clinics if they did get rid of abortion. 

  • I would be more fine with Planned Parenthood if the government stopped funding it. I don't agree with what they do there and would prefer if it didn't exist. I think Planned Parenthood clinics are starting to close because people are starting to become more vocal about what their opinions are on Planned Parenthood and we have a conservative controlled government.
