The Missouri legislature earlier passed a new law that mandates most abortion clinics must meet the standards for an "ambulatory surgical center." Story here. Link from Layman Online.

This law sounds reasonable to me. Abortion is surgery, therefore abortion clinics should meet the same requirements that other outpatient surgery clinics must meet.

But no. Planned Parenthood is now suing in Federal Court to block enforcement of the law, saying it would impose hardship.

I guess in some quarters you may attack motherhood and perhaps even apple pie, but don't touch abortion or Planned Parenthood.
