Missouri Governor Says He Won’t Open Investigation Into Spreadsheet Of Patients’ Periods Despite Furor

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) defended the state's health department's tracking spreadsheet, saying that kind of information has been filed to the state for decades and is done to regulate patients' safety. "Lawmakers that don’t know that should probably take a good look at the laws in the state of Missouri," Parson said. The revelation that the state logs women's periods came from a trial over Missouri's last-remaining abortion clinic.
