St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Planned Parenthood sued the state Wednesday to object to the language in two proposed anti-abortion, anti-stem-cell funding ballot initiatives.
The lawsuits, filed in Cole County Circuit Court, seek to stop the approval of language for a ballot initiative that would allow the Legislature to limit funding to any organization that supported abortion or certain types of controversial stem cell research and another proposal that would create a new definition of when life begins, in effect outlawing abortion and likely even certain forms of birth control.
The group that had filed the first petition, Missouri Roundtable for Life, had already asked that it be withdrawn, but the request came after the language had been approved for petition circulation. Both of the petitions had been approved for circulation earlier this month.
