Bill seeks reviews of Missouri abortion facility
By ASSOCIATED PRESS | JANUARY 19, 2014 AT 2:12 AM

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — An abortion facility in Missouri would need to be inspected at least four times annually under a newly proposed measure in the state House.

The legislation introduced this past week is a priority for Missouri Right to Life, which calls it a "strong bipartisan and pro-life" bill. Anti-abortion groups have pointed to a state inspection that identified several issues at a St. Louis clinic and to demonstrators who have witnessed about two dozen ambulance trips at the facility over the past several years.

The goal is to impose "stricter inspection requirements and more accountability for abortion clinics," Missouri Right to Life President Pam Fichter said in a written statement. The legislation, sponsored by Cape Girardeau Republican Kathy Swan, has more than 100 co-sponsors, including the House speaker and majority leader.

Missouri's only facility currently performing elective abortions is in St. Louis, and Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri says about one-fifth of patients travel more than 100 miles to get there.

They rather to inspect abortion facilities that pose no threat to environment yet they won't inspect Monsanto, Koch Industries, gas fracking companies, and chemical hazard companies....
