Mo. Governor Signs Abortion-Limiting Bill
Gov. Matt Blunt signed legislation Thursday placing further restrictions on abortion, and Planned Parenthood ain't too happy ~OH WELL!~
The bill's supporters say they are trying to stop people from helping teens get abortions in Illinois, which has no parental consent law.
The legislation also disqualifies anyone with a financial interest in an abortion for instance, people who work or volunteer for abortion clinics from helping minors seek a court exemption to the parental consent law.
The measure was approved 115-35 by the House on Wednesday. The Senate passed it 26-6 last week.
It also requires doctors performing abortions to be affiliated with a hospital within 30 miles. The Springfield Health Care Center worries it could be forced to close because its doctor lacks privileges at a hospital within that distance.
