Missouri Sues Planned Parenthood Over Alleged Illegal Minor Abortion Assistance

The lawsuit, based on a controversial video, claims the organization facilitated out-of-state abortions for minors without parental consent.

Missouri's Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, alleging the organization helped minors travel to Kansas for abortions without parental consent.
The lawsuit is based on a video from the conservative group Project Veritas, which has been criticized for promoting false claims and using deceptive tactics in the past.
Planned Parenthood Great Plains denies the allegations, stating they do not provide transportation for patients and comply with state and federal laws.
The lawsuit marks a continuation of efforts by Missouri officials to push Planned Parenthood out of the state following the ban on most abortions.
Critics argue the lawsuit is politically motivated, aiming to garner headlines in an election year.
