Gov. Matt Blunt Statement on Missouri's Parental Consent Law
JEFFERSON CITY– Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on the Supreme Court of Missouri's unanimous decision to uphold Missouri's parental consent law:
"The decision today by the Supreme Court of Missouri is another victory in our efforts to establish a culture that values all human life. Parents must be informed of their children's decision to end an innocent life and today's ruling upholds that belief. No longer will Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers profit from those who aid or assist minors in obtaining an abortion without parental consent. I will continue working to enact strong pro-life measures that reflect the values of Missourians and reduce the number of abortions in our state."
