A PRO CHOICE RALLY IS HAPPENING
IS DOWN TOWN SPRINGFIELD RIGHT

ABORTION CLINIC IN MISSOURI IS
IN JEOPARDY.
GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO KOLR
10 NEWS MIDDAY I'M LAUREN
BARNAS.
HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT PARK
CENTRAL SQUARE... WHERE PRO
CHOICE PROTESTERS ARE HOPING A
JUDGE WILL SIDE IN FAVOR OF
PLANNED PARENTHOOD... TO GRANT
THE ST. LOUIS CLINIC A
TEMPORARY LICENSE -- TO KEEP
PERFORMING ABORTIONS.
THE MISSOURI HEALTH DEPARTMENT
SAYS IT HAS CONCERNS ABOUT
PATIENT SAFETY AND LEGAL
VIOLATIONS THERE -- AFTER A
PATIENT COMPLAINT IN APRIL.
EVENT ORGANIZER ANNA BREHME
BELIEVES THE SPECIFICS OF THE
LAW ARE DISTURBING.
Anna Brehme/Pro Choice Protest
Organizer "...........If you
can't carry a baby to full term,
what are you supposed to do?
There's no exception for rape or
incest I'm hearing, so that's
just
wrong... it's unconsitutional"
LAUREN
A JUDGE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A
RULING BEFORE TODAY'S DEADLINE.
IF THE STATE DOES NOT GRANT THE
RENEWAL... MISSOURI WOULD BECOME
THE FIRST STATE IN THE
U-S WITHOUT AN ABORTION CLINIC.
LAUREN
AROUND THE REGION...
