Missouri Governor Blunt to Sign Anti-abortion Legislation

Missouri Governor Matt Blunt is holding a statewide bill signing tour today in which he will sign pro-life legislation.

JEFFERSON CITY — Missouri abortion providers will face new regulations for their clinics and new restrictions on teaching sex education classes.

Gov. Matt Blunt signed legislation today placing more abortion clinics under government oversight by classifying them as ambulatory surgical centers. Planned Parenthood claims the law could force it to spend more than $1 million to remodel some of its buildings.

The new law, which will take effect Aug. 28, also bars people affiliated with abortion providers from teaching or supplying materials for sex education courses in public schools, and it allows schools to offer abstinence-only programs.

Missouri Right to Life, which backed the measure, claims groups such as Planned Parenthood have a conflict of interest in supplying materials for sex education courses, because they could potentially make money off female students who later visit their clinics.
Of course, Planned Parenthood, an expert in misinformation and disinformation campaigns when it comes to parenting and parenthood, is not pleased and asserts that this is “political propaganda." Surely, PP knows all about "propaganda."
