More than 340% increased among patients in Missouri and Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-life advocates grieved over Monday\u2019s announcement, with the National Right to Life Committee calling the abortion-on-wheels clinic \u201canother grotesque demeaning of human life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChemical abortions can lead to life-threatening complications,\u201d Laura Echevarria, spokeswoman for the committee, told The Associated Press in a statement. \u201cWill women recognize those complications early enough to seek treatment?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman (R-MO), an ardent anti-abortion advocate, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/news\/politics-government\/article266744211.html\">The Kansas City Star<\/a> that Planned Parenthood\u2019s move \u201cis a desperate move from those that profit from women in crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want every woman in Missouri who is considering abortion to know that Missouri stands ready to help her and her baby,\u201d Coleman said.<\/p>\n<p>Missouri joined 12 other Republican-controlled states to immediately ban abortions following the Supreme Court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>The Kansas City Star reported Sam Lee, a Jefferson City-based anti-abortion lobbyist, criticized Planned Parenthood in a statement, claiming that medically induced abortions put women at risk of adverse reactions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is reckless for Planned Parenthood to hand out abortion pills like candy just across the border, since many patients \u2014 including minor girls \u2014 will end up in hospital emergency rooms in Missouri,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n<p>Officials told The Associated Press the RV clinics \u2014 which will include two exam rooms, a lab, and a waiting room to provide medication abortions up to 11 weeks of gestation \u2014 would arrive in the St. Louis region by October and should be operational by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Following the same protocol at permanent facilities, NPR reports officials said patients first take mifepristone to induce pregnancy termination. Patients then take misoprostol to prevent and treat stomach and duodenal ulcers and postpartum bleeding due to poor contraction of the uterus.<\/p>\n<p>The abortion provider said it would start providing surgical abortions inside the RV after a few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planned Parenthood officials announced Monday the clinic would soon hit the road in a 37-foot RV, bringing abortion services near bordering states that have since banned the procedure.
