Missouri Judge Approves Summary, Cost Estimate For Abortion Ballot Proposal
Missouri Judge Patricia Joyce last week dismissed conspiracy allegations against three state officials and approved the summary and cost estimate for a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban public funding for abortions and certain types of embryonic stem cell research, the AP/St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.The Missouri Roundtable for Life proposed the ballot measure earlier this year. Supporters of the measure subsequently argued that a summary written by Missouri"s secretary of state was biased. At the same time, opponents of the measure argued that the original petition was improperly drafted and should not have been allowed to proceed.Joyce dismissed the challenges to the summary and cost estimate, which was prepared by the state auditor. She also rejected the Roundtable"s claims that three state officials -- Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, Attorney General Chris Koster and State Auditor Susan Montee -- conspired to violate sponsors" constitutional rights. Joyce ruled that the allegations "are without merit and rise to the level of being frivolous."Steve Clark, an attorney representing the Roundtable, said his clients have not yet decided whether they will appeal. If they appeal and the summary is changed, new signatures will be required to support the new language. Supporters hope to place the measure on the 2010 ballot (Blank, AP/St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 6/20).

Taking Positions: Some Docs, Businesses Cheer While Others Oppose Effort

As advocacy groups with a stake in health reform take positions in the health reform debate, their battle lines don"t necessarily observe the boundaries of a given sector, industry or professional affiliation. "Business is far from unified in its lobbying efforts for health-care reform," McClatchy/Chicago Tribune reports. "The disparity dilutes its power and may contribute to a plan no faction wants -- or no plan at all." Though everyone agrees cost control is key, other details, such as whether to include an employer mandate, a public health insurance plan, or end the employer-based health insurance system all together, are up in the air. "[W]hile some executives are letting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce or the National Federation of Independent Business express their views in Washington, others are saying those organizations don"t speak for them" (Stafford, 7/20). Meanwhile, the American College of Surgeons backed the House"s version of the health care reform bill, following the lead of the American Medical Association, the Hill reports. "The backing of the physician lobby, which has opposed past reform efforts, would prove incredibly valuable to President Obama and his Democratic allies in their push to enact comprehensive healthcare reform this year." But The Hill also notes that "The house of medicine is far from unified in support of the House Democrats" bill..." Numerous state-based medical societies planned to oppose the overhaul with a letter to lawmakers this week, and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons both announced their disapproval last week (Young, 7/17).
