Missouri Judge Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions

Missouri Judge Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions

Published 3 days, 1 hour ago
Description

Missouri’s judge just struck down sweeping abortion restrictions, clearing the way for Planned Parenthood to resume prescribing abortion pills — a service halted since 2018. The ruling, which overturned rules like mandatory in-person visits and pill-taking in front of doctors, was based on voters’ 2023 amendment protecting abortion access. But the state’s attorney general plans to appeal, and a November ballot measure could undo the amendment. The judge kept one key requirement: patients must see a doctor in person to confirm pregnancy stage and rule out ectopic pregnancies. Missouri, the first state to ban abortions after Roe fell, now sees a major win for abortion rights — though the battle isn’t over.
