Before last week, Missouri\u2019s restrictive laws had already reduced abortion services to one location in the entire state. But that wasn\u2019t enough for Greitens. He called a special session of the Missouri legislature specifically to deal with abortion issues\u2014and specifically \u00a0to make things worse\u2014and \u00a0the legislature obliged.<\/p>\n
Republican Gov. Eric Greitens has said<\/a> he called the special session on abortion in reaction to the St. Louis ordinance banning discrimination in employment and housing based on “reproductive health decisions” and a federal judge’s ruling that struck down some Missouri abortion restrictions passed in previous legislative sessions.<\/p>\nThe ruling, which the state is appealing, tossed out requirements that doctors who perform abortions have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, and that clinics meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surgery. \u00a0Greitens wants lawmakers to enact other restrictions on clinics in place of those that were struck down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here\u2019s what he got in the special session: The latest piece of legislation in Missouri encompasses a long list of new, even harsher regulations. Judge for yourself.<\/p>\n
The Missouri legislature has now passed a bill that:<\/p>\n
\n- Allows the state attorney general, not just local prosecutors, to prosecute
\nabortion-law violations<\/li>\n - Requires doctors\u2014not nurses, nurse practitioners or other medical
\npersonal\u2014to explain potential medical risks to women 72 hours before they
\ncan obtain an abortion<\/li>\n - Establishes surprise, annual inspections of abortion clinics<\/li>\n
- Establishes whistle-blower protections for employees of abortion clinics<\/li>\n
- Bars local governments from passing ordinances that adversely affect alternative-to-abortion pregnancy centers\u2014the ones that, nationwide, tell women lies and omit information needed for them to make good decisions about their reproductive health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Of course, these new restrictions will be challenged in court. We can only hope that they will be struck down. They are shockingly harsh. But what is not shocking is the unrelenting effort by Missouri legislators\u2014and now the newly elected Missouri Governor\u2014to go out of their way to block women from exercising their lawful right to make their own health decisions\u2014a right that has been guaranteed by the US Supreme Court since 1973.\u00a0 Missouri has many problems: This is the one they go to special session on?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
