In a bold move to uphold Missouri’s pro-life standards, Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a new lawsuit on Thursday against Planned Parenthood Great Plains, accusing the organization of bypassing state laws that require parental consent for minors seeking abortions. The complaint filed with the Boone County, Missouri, Circuit Court targets the allegedly illegal practice of transporting minors across state lines to obtain abortions.
Missouri has been at the forefront of the pro-life movement, especially after the pivotal Dobbs Supreme Court decision in 2022 that empowered states to assert local control over abortion regulation.

The attorney general’s actions follow alarming revelations from an undercover investigation by Project Veritas. The footage, according to Bailey, exposed Planned Parenthood staff admitting to aiding minors in obtaining abortions without their parents’ consent, a clear violation of Missouri law. The lawsuit further highlights disturbing practices such as removing minors from schools with altered doctors’ notes and shuttling them to neighboring Kansas, where abortion laws are less restrictive.
