Missouri's Last Abortion Clinic Issued License After Yearlong Battle

The Saint Louis Planned Parenthood clinic received a new license to provide abortions after a year-long legal battle. Missouri was close to becoming the only state without an abortion provider due to the health department's refusal to renew the clinic's license, citing failed abortions. Planned Parenthood sued, claiming the delay was a tactic to end abortions in the state. The Missouri Administrative Hearing Commission ruled in favor of the clinic, affirming its provision of safe and legal abortion care. Despite the victory, longstanding policies continue to affect patients.
