Episode Details

Missouri’s abortion restrictions just got a major blow as a judge struck down key rules that made accessing abortion care unnecessarily difficult — including forcing two in-person visits and requiring patients to take the first pill in front of a doctor. Planned Parenthood can now resume prescribing abortion pills, a service halted since 2018, and clinics can continue offering other procedures. The ruling aligns with a voter-approved constitutional amendment protecting abortion access up to fetal viability, but some requirements — like mandatory in-person pregnancy checks — remain. While this win brings essential care back to Missouri, the Attorney General plans to appeal, and a November ballot measure could attempt to undo the amendment voters passed last year.
