Planned Parenthood official could face jail time over Missouri Senate subpoena dispute
JEFFERSON CITY • Missouri Republican senators moved forward with contempt proceedings against a Planned Parenthood official Thursday.
The Senate Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics Committee voted along party lines 5-2 to advance a resolution that would compel a Planned Parenthood official to appear before the whole Senate. The resolution now moves to the full Senate for debate.
Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard, R-Joplin, issued a subpoena in November to Mary Kogut, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri. James Miller, owner of Brentwood-based Pathology Services Inc., was also issued a subpoena. He too faces contempt proceedings.
Senators sought from Planned Parenthood six years worth of documents pertaining to fetal tissue and other information about Planned Parenthood operations. Miller was supposed to testify before the interim Senate Sanctity of Life Committee in December but didn’t.
