Missouri’s only abortion clinic in St. Louis can continue operating after a St. Louis Judge ruled yesterday (Monday) to extend a temporary restraining order against the state prohibiting them from allowing the clinic’s license to expire.
Judge Michael Stelzer ordered the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to make a decision by June 21st whether the clinic’s license should be renewed.
The agency recently declined to renew the license to provide abortions, citing concerns over patient safety.
Yesterday’s (Monday) ruling will protect the clinic going forward with the court challenge.
