The cut is the latest development in a battle over abortion rights in Missouri. It began last summer after Republican state lawmakers decided to investigate allegations that the abortion and health care provider sold fetal tissue. Attorney General Chris Koster, a Democrat running for governor this year, found no evidence of wrongdoing in Missouri, and a Texas grand jury later indicted anti-abortion activists who shot the videos.

There are two Planned Parenthood affiliates in Missouri that oversee 14 centers in the state. Only the St. Louis facility provides abortions. Other services provided include contraception, pregnancy tests and cancer screenings.

Several Republicans said women could go elsewhere, such as federally qualified health centers, for the same care.

“Everyone here needs to understand there are (centers that) ... do exactly the same thing and they’re not allowed to do abortions at all,” said Rep. Donna Lichtenegger, R-Jackson. “To say we are losing everything with this amendment is ludicrous.”
