Missouri Supreme Court Halts Planned Parenthood Abortions
Planned Parenthood suspended abortion services in Missouri after the state Supreme Court mandated a reevaluation of prior rulings that had allowed abortions to resume following a voter-approved ban last November. The court’s two-page ruling criticized a district judge’s standard of decision-making and emphasized the need to assess potential harms from resuming abortion services, amidst state concerns over unregulated facilities. Planned Parenthood expressed disappointment over the cancellation of appointments, while pro-life advocates celebrated the ruling as a victory for health and safety regulations.
