Abortion Care Available in Missouri Again, at Least for Now
In February, a judge in Missouri blocked a licensing requirement that restricted clinics from providing abortion care in the state. Within hours of the ruling, Planned Parenthood announced they would resume offering abortion care in Missouri. PP The “Show Me” state has been a battleground for reproductive rights for more than a decade. Last November, Missouri voters passed an amendment to their state constitution to add the right to abortion and reproductive health care protections. Thank you to Democrats in Missouri and around the country who have supported the will of the people in preserving reproductive rights.
