The Kansas City Star reported on the new ruling that Planned Parenthood can perform abortions in Kansas City and Columbia, but any facility that performs five or more abortions in a month will need to meet certain safety requirements. The problem with this ruling is that for the clinics, new renovations can be so costly that the clinics won't be able to continue to provide safe abortion care.

Abortion has always been a controversial issue and reporting on it will always be hard. Fortunately, this article was easier to report on because it was based more on the results of the courts and financial responsibilities of these clinics rather than the arguments behind abortion. Reporting on abortion without bias will always be hard because no matter what way it is done, neither side will be happy with their coverage.

This reporter did a good job at focusing purely on the court ruling and the concerns of the clinic and not on the arguments for and against abortion. There have been many articles I have seen written on court rulings about abortion that have taken quotes from representatives of either side of the argument although the court ruling has already been made. This reporter maintained an unbiased viewpoint by understanding that the ruling had already been made and the only thing to do now is to give the correct information.
