Missouri law that calls for one the nation’s most restrictive abortion regulations has been halted after a federal judge allowed a preliminary injunction.
A Missouri law that calls for one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion regulations was halted from taking effect after a federal judge said Tuesday it cannot be enforced"pending further litigation or further order of the court."
The bill, which was signed by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson in May and was set to go into effect Wednesday, outlaws abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy, including in the case of rape or incest. “Today’s decision blocks a harmful law that bans abortion before many know they’re pregnant. What little abortion access in Missouri is left, will stay in place for the time being. In the meantime, we cannot ignore the part of this law that remains in place, which allows politicians to interfere with the patient-provider relationship.
