Episode Details

Planned Parenthood is set to restart medication abortions in Missouri next week, reversing a near-eight-year ban after a judge struck down key restrictions that violated the state’s 2023 reproductive freedom amendment. The ruling, which overturned requirements like in-person physician presence, hospital admitting privileges, and a 72-hour waiting period, clears the way for nearly two-thirds of all abortions nationwide to become accessible again in the state. Though the Attorney General plans to appeal, Planned Parenthood is already accepting online appointments. The case heads to the Missouri Supreme Court, while voters will face a November ballot measure to repeal the amendment — a fight abortion rights advocates are preparing to defend, reminding voters of their clear mandate for reproductive freedom.
