Missouri Provides Details On ‘Failed Abortions’ That Triggered Investigation Into State’s Last-Remaining Clinic

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and the last-remaining abortion clinic in the state are in a court battle over the facility's license. The state provided details about its claims that three procedures done there required additional surgeries and another led to life-threatening complications. Jesse Lawder, a spokesman for Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri, said the state violated patient-privacy laws by releasing the records.
