A judge says Missouri's abortion ban isn’t enforceable, but there's no start date for abortions
Overview
A judge in Missouri ruled that the state's near-total abortion ban is unenforceable due to a newly adopted constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights. While several restrictions were blocked, including a 72-hour waiting period, some laws remain in effect, complicating efforts to resume abortion services in the state. Planned Parenthood expresses discontent, citing licensing challenges. This ruling is anticipated to be a significant step in the ongoing legal battles surrounding abortion laws in Missouri, especially after the 2022 Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
