Despite a free and fair election that changed the Missouri state constitution . . .
Here was today's Republican push back that garnered national news . . .
The Missouri Supreme Court has ordered a judge in Kansas City to lift two rulings that halted enforcement of the state’s near-total ban on abortion.
After voters in November approved Amendment 3 to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution, the Planned Parenthood affiliates serving the state sued. In December, Judge Jerri Zhang of the 16th Circuit ruled that the ban violated the constitution. In February, she ruled that licensing requirements for clinics that provide the procedure were discriminatory. That allowed abortions in the state to resume while the case made its way to a January 2026 trial.
In a joint statement Tuesday, Planned Parenthood Great Plains President and CEO Emily Wales and Planned Parenthood Great Rivers President and CEO Margot Riphagen said they will continue to push for abortion access for the state’s residents.
