Great news today, folks. The Missouri House has passed a law which would allow a lawsuit against anyone who helped a minor get an abortion without consent. The vote was 109-32. This law would require doctors to have privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the site of the abortion. It would also reclassify abortion clinics as "ambulatory surgical centers," which would make them subject to inspection by the State Department of Health and Senior Services. This goes hand-in-hand with the law passed in 1983 which made it mandatory to get consent before a minor could get an abortion.
Now all we have to do is get the senate to do the right thing, then we can get on with the inevitable court challenges. And you know they will come.
