Missouri's bill closed 1 of only 2 remaining abortion clinics within 60 days of passage. [[Planned Parenthood]] even backed off its legal challenge in order to avoid a bad precedent for it. Missouri's bill is perfectly constitutional and ''[[Roe v. Wade]]'' says nothing to invalidate it. In fact, there is language in ''Roe v. Wade'' supporting this bill: "The [state's] interest obviously extends at least to the performing physician and his staff, '''to the availability of after-care, and to adequate provision for any complication or emergency that might arise'''."
