Our statement regarding Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Director, Randall Williams’, resignation:
Statement from Yamelsie Rodríguez, President and CEO, Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region:
“For two years, Reproductive Health Services has vehemently called for the resignation of Randall Williams — for tracking patients’ menstrual cycles, for politicizing public health, trying and failing to ban abortion, and jeopardizing countless Missourians during this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. We’re disappointed it took this long, but we feel vindicated for every Missourian whose life was made harder because of Williams’ failure as a public health leader.”
