Missouri AG Files Lawsuit Against Planned Parenthood Over Project Veritas Video

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, citing a video from Project Veritas as evidence of the organization illegally transporting minors out of state for abortions. The video, which was staged and edited, shows a man pretending to have a pregnant niece seeking abortion services for her without parental consent. Planned Parenthood has called the video "doctored" and "fraudulent," and the lawsuit has been criticized as politically motivated and based on a hypothetical scenario. The lawsuit has sparked controversy and is seen as part of a broader campaign against Planned Parenthood in Missouri.
