Jackson County court decision expands abortion access throughout Missouri

from St. Louis on the Air

Missouri's abortion landscape shifted dramatically after a Jackson County judge struck down many of the state's abortion restrictions, allowing providers like Planned Parenthood to resume offering medication abortions. STLPR reporter Sarah Fentem joins “The Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air” about the legal and political ramifications of that ruling, how it expands access to abortion and how it sets the stage for a fight over a proposed constitutional amendment on Missouri's 2026 ballot that could once again reshape abortion rights in the state.
