JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. _ Missouri Gov. Mike Parson's administration issued a license Thursday to Planned Parenthood, allowing Missouri's lone abortion provider to operate through 2021.
After yanking the St. Louis clinic's license last year, the facility has been able to continue operating only through the intervention of a judge's order.
The new license was issued nearly a month after a state administrative hearing judge ruled against the Republican administration's attempt to shutter the facility.
