According to the Star, the spreadsheet “was based on medical records the investigator had access to during the state’s annual inspection, also included medical identification numbers, dates of medical procedures and the gestational ages of fetuses.” It was created in an attempt to find so-called failed abortions, the reason state health officials are giving for refusing to renew the clinic’s license. State officials denied that the director of its health department requested the data, despite the spreadsheet being attached to an email entitled “Director’s request.”

…Missouri passed a law earlier this year forbidding abortions after the eight week of pregnancy, not even making an exception for rape or incest.

…The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is responsible for the health and safety of unaccompanied minors who enter the United States,  …was tracking pregnancies among the cohort, putting such details as the length of their pregnancy and whether they requested an abortion on a spreadsheet. The office’s former head Scott Lloyd — who is writing a book about his antiabortion beliefs — read the spreadsheet on a weekly basis.

Missouri didn’t track Planned Parenthood patients’ periods to protect women. It was to control them. – The Washington Post
