Missouri: The Show Me (your pregnancy test results) State

Professional female wrestler, Julie Utley, claims the state of Missouri is infringing on her right to privacy.

Utley is one of 100 women boxers and wrestlers licensed by the state of Missouri and under law she is required to provide proof one week prior to a match that she is not pregnant.

Utley refuses to submit to the pregnancy test and has not wrestled since March.

Utley claims the pregnancy tests, which must be performed by a doctor, would cost her about $60 a month.

See June 9, 2006 article here:

Apparently, Missouri is taking the lead on the new CDC federal guidelines that all females are treated as pre-pregnant.

What’s next? Requiring a pregnancy test before a female can buy a pack of cigarettes or a six-pack? go horseback riding?
