COLUMBIA - MU's Interim Chancellor Hank Foley annouced his decision Monday not to restore the refer and follow privileges that allow abortions to be performed in Columbia's facility.

Following the decision, the Department of Health will take away its abortion license leaving the St. Louis Planned Parenthood the only facility in the state where abortion can be performed.

Coordinator for Mizzou for Planned Parenthood Jordan Hoyt said the organization sent Chancellor Foley more than 2,500 signatures and approximately 1,700 emails asking him to support Planned Parenthood.

"If we lose those privileges, the Missouri will become a one-provider state for abortion services leaving our St. Louis health center as the only remaining provider," Hoyt said.

9. so Foley just decided to walk into the Chancellor's office one morning?

I mean, I'm not casting any aspersions--but the administariat seems to have something deeper going in inside it

It was the previous chancellor that took away privileges

10. I wonder if the Planned Parenthood Massacre was a factor

I also wonder how Foley knew he had to make the decision. Finally, I'd like to know what the most recent Chancellor has to say.
