Planned Parenthood sues Missouri attorney general over transgender care investigation

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey demanded Planned Parenthood turn over a litany of records as part of his investigation into allegations of misconduct at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Planned Parenthood argues Bailey’s demand for documents is outside the scope of his legal authority and is “improper, harassing and unjust.”
A lawsuit filed Friday in St. Louis accuses Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey of a “politically motivated” investigation of transgender care provided by Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri.

The attorney general demanded Planned Parenthood turn over a litany of records earlier this month as part of his investigation into allegations of misconduct at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
