He is the Director of Health in Missouri. Maybe this link will help express your opinions of his requirement of sexual assault of women seeking abortions in Missouri.

(937 posts)If they keep that law on the books, I propose a law requiring men who want prescriptions for Viagra to be required to have transrectal ultrasounds of their prostates because, well, its important.
I agree that it is important but f course THAT would be considered a violation of their autonomy.

(21,904 posts)Dr. Randall Williams, director of the DHSS and a licensed obstetrician, said at least part of the reduction was due to fewer women choosing to have pill abortions in Missouri after the state began enforcing a pelvic exam requirement early last year.
Certainly, theres that factor, Williams said. After about March or April the medication abortions went to Illinois.
The Post-Dispatch reported in December that women were traveling to Illinois to undergo medication abortions after Missouri began enforcing the pelvic exam rule.
Pelvic exams are conducted on a womans internal and external genital area. Patients can find them uncomfortable.
