Missouri's only abortion clinic gets another extension, will remain open until August.
Missouri's lone abortion clinic on Friday was granted a stay from the state's Administrative Hearing Commission, enabling it to continue performing the procedure amid a protracted legal battle threatening to shut it down.
“We are relieved to have this last-minute reprieve, which means patients can continue accessing safe, legal abortion at Planned Parenthood in St. Louis for the time being. This has been a week-to-week fight for our patients and every Missourian who needs access to abortion care," Dr. Colleen McNicholas, an OB-GYN at Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region, said in a statement.
State Circuit Court Judge Michael Stelzer granted a preliminary injunction to the clinic June 10 that allowed it to continue to operate even as the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services refused to renew its license. He set a deadline of June 21 for the department to make a decision. The embattled Planned Parenthood says it's made changes in response to the state's inspection and has consistently provided high quality care.
