Senior NIH Analyst Threatens Sen. Hawley, ‘Deserves To Be Skinned Alive’ For Challenging Election Results

Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have joined forces in Missouri, filing a lawsuit against the state over a recently passed abortion law. Senate Bill 5, signed in July by Republican Governor Eric Greitens, “modifies several provisions relating to abortion,” including regulations in complication plans, consent to abortion procedures, tissue reports, Attorney General jurisdiction, the preemption of political subdivision authority regarding abortion, whistleblower protections, the definition of abortion facilities, inspections of abortion facilities, and the crime of interference with medical assistance.
