Eric Schmitt's campaign tried to get ad featuring woman denied abortion pulled from air
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s campaign for U.S. Senate last week sent a cease-and-desist letter to a cable provider demanding the company remove a television ad that featured a woman describing how she was denied a medical abortion because of the state’s ban.
The letter was addressed to Spectrum Reach, which covers a broad swath of Missouri. It was sent by Edward Greim, an attorney for the Kansas City-based law firm Graves Garrett, which represents Schmitt’s campaign.
The campaign’s cease-and-desist letter, obtained by The Star, was referenced in a series of letters sent by House Minority Leader Crystal Quade, a Springfield Democrat, to the offices of Schmitt, Gov. Mike Parson and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
Quade’s letters sought records related to an alleged investigation by the state health department into the woman and the Joplin hospital where she was denied the abortion.
