Missouri loses bid to shut down last abortion clinic in state

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. _ A state judge Friday ruled against an attempt by Gov. Mike Parson's administration to shut down the lone abortion clinic in Missouri.

"Planned Parenthood has demonstrated that it provides safe and legal abortion care. In over 4,000 abortions provided since 2018, the department has only identified two causes to deny its license," Dandamudi wrote.
