Kansas City area health system stops providing Plan B in Missouri because of abortion ban

Plan B does not cause an abortion!!!

Can you imagine being raped and going to the hospital for care after you have been brutalized and being told that they cannot give you emergency contraceptive??


A leading health system in Kansas City is no longer providing emergency contraception in Missouri after the state banned abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.

Saint Luke’s Health System confirmed the decision to The Star on Tuesday night after word of the change began circulating among advocates for sexual assault victims.
