Common sense safety standards and regulations for abortion facilities have been abandoned, putting women at risk.

A Friday court ruling in favor of abortion providers in Missouri dealt a blow to pro-life advocates fighting the “return of abortion” in their state.
Since the Nov. 5 passage of an abortion rights amendment to the Missouri constitution, which passed by a narrow 51.6 percent, multiple laws restricting abortion and regulating abortion facilities have been struck down in state courts. Pro-life advocates and legislators fought the amendment all the way to the state’s Supreme Court but failed to overturn the measure moving to a people’s vote. Currently, abortions are legal until fetal viability with exceptions for the “life and physical or mental health” of the mother.
