Missouri Court Ruling Supports Abortion Providers
The Western District Court of Appeals has upheld a trial court's decision granting injunctive relief to abortion providers.
Abortion providers had been restricted by what they argue are medically unnecessary requirements for abortion services.
The Western District noted that any statute deemed unconstitutional "causes irreparable harm."
Planned Parenthood and the ACLU stated the ruling allows abortion patients to continue receiving procedural abortions in Missouri.
- A challenge to the state's ban on medication abortion remains pending in the Jackson County Circuit Court.
- A request for a preliminary injunction also remains pending.
