Planned Parenthood provides complete reproductive health care to people who wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise. Planned Parenthood is not an "abortion clinic."Police in Columbia, Mo., are investigating after firefighters responded to a “suspicious fire” at a Planned Parenthood clinic.
There were no injuries in the blaze, which occurred around 4 a.m. on Sunday and was extinguished by the sprinkler system in the building, according to The Associated Press.

Missouri now has just one clinic that can provide abortions after new regulations requiring doctors to have certain privileges at a nearby hospital in order to provide the procedure went into effect last year.
The Columbia [Missouri] clinic’s abortion license expired in October, and the clinic has not yet been able to secure the necessary physician privileges.

Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Emily Miller said in a statement obtained by the AP that the organization is working with law enforcement and that the clinic, which was closed Monday amid the investigation, would reopen as soon as possible.

And shame on the University of Missouri Hospital and Boone Hospital if they're not granting Planned Parenthood the needed privileges to meet the requirements. And shame on the state of Missouri.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
