Missouri’s Last Abortion Clinic May Shut Down This Week

HeadlineMay 29, 2019

In more reproductive rights news, the sole remaining abortion clinic in Missouri says it could be shut down this week. Planned Parenthood said it filed a lawsuit after Missouri’s health department has refused to renew its state license; a judge is scheduled to hear the case today. If Planned Parenthood’s license to perform abortions is not renewed by Friday, Missouri would become the first state without an abortion clinic since 1973’s landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. We’ll have more on this and other reproductive rights news after headlines.
