Missouri Judge Strikes Down Abortion Bans

Missouri Judge Strikes Down Abortion Bans

Published 1 day, 16 hours ago
Description

A Missouri judge just struck down a wave of abortion restrictions, declaring they violate a 2024 voter-approved constitutional amendment — a major win that means Planned Parenthood will resume prescribing abortion pills next week, after a four-year hiatus. Judge Jerri Zhang tossed out 40 laws, including mandatory in-person doctor visits and pill-taking requirements, finding most incompatible with the amendment. While abortion rights advocates celebrate this rollback of state overreach, the battle isn’t over — the state’s Attorney General plans to appeal, and voters will decide again in November whether to repeal the very amendment that sparked this victory.
