The last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri says it expects to be shut down this week, which would effectively end legal abortion in the state. Unless a court intervenes, the closing would make Missouri the only state in the country without an abortion clinic, according to Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood said the state health department "is refusing to renew" its St. Louis clinic's license to provide abortions. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, which wants to require several doctors who perform abortions at the center to submit to questioning as a condition of renewing the license, did not immediately return a request for comment.
