Abortions are set to resume in Missouri after a judge blocked restrictive licensing requirements for abortion facilities that discriminated against providers. Jackson County Circuit Judge Jerri Zhang ruled the licensing regulations were unfairly discriminatory following a constitutional amendment that voters approved, enshrining abortion rights. Planned Parenthood is ready to resume services, citing unnecessary regulations. The Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey plans to appeal the ruling. Despite this progress, anti-abortion legislators are introducing bills to challenge the amendment. Advocates maintain that this change will significantly enhance access to abortion care in Missouri and the broader Midwest.
