Missouri Judge Strikes Down Abortion Bans

Missouri Judge Strikes Down Abortion Bans

Published 2 days, 2 hours ago
Description

A Missouri judge just struck down dozens of abortion restrictions, paving the way for Planned Parenthood to resume prescribing abortion pills — a move that could restore reproductive freedom in the state. The ruling, based on a 2024 voter-approved constitutional amendment, invalidated laws like mandatory in-person visits and doctor-presence requirements for the first pill, while upholding the need for in-person pregnancy confirmation. Missouri, once the first state to ban all abortions, is now back in the spotlight as clinics prepare to resume medication abortions next week — but with the Attorney General already planning an appeal and a November ballot measure to undo the amendment, this battle is far from over.
