Missouri's last abortion clinic says it may lose its license this week

Source: CBS News

St. Louis, Missouri — The last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri says it expects to be shut down this week, effectively ending legal abortion in the state.

In a statement to be released later Tuesday, Planned Parenthood said Missouri's health department is "refusing to renew" its annual license to provide abortion in the state. If the license is not renewed by May 31, Missouri would become the first state without a functioning abortion clinic since 1973 when Roe v. Wade was decided.

Planned Parenthood would still be able to provide non-abortion health services for women in Missouri.

1. This is about CONROL over women's bodies and decisions.....

and Nothing else.

Lawmakers are sentencing their female family members to the same fate. A takeover of their ability to be in CONTROL.

4. For men too

There are people out there who believe the ONLY reason anyone should ever have sex is for reproduction, and they should work very hard to ensure they have the least amount of sex necessary to cause pregnancy.

The Protestant husband in Monty Python's "Every Sperm is Sacred" skit falls into this category; although he claims that he could have sex any time he wanted and that by "wearing a rubber device on the end of my cock" his good lady wife would not become pregnant, he in fact has only had sex twice in his life and both times resulted in a pregnancy.
