Here’s The First State That Could Soon Be Without A Clinic That Performs Abortions

I love the Pro-Life wave that seems to be gaining major momentum around the country.

One state went even one step further and decided to remove abortion clinics across the country!

Missouri‘s last abortion clinic expects to shut down later this week, ending legal abortion in the Show-Me State.

Planned Parenthood failed to renew its license issued by the state’s health department for the last remaining abortion clinic in St. Louis and if it isn’t compliant by May 31, Missouri will become the first state without a functioning abortion clinic since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, CBS News reported.

Planned Parenthood officials say they are filing a lawsuit in state court Tuesday, asking for a restraining order to prevent its St. Louis clinic from being forced to stop offering the procedure after a state license expires Friday.

Planned Parenthood officials say they’ve been unable to reach an agreement with officials at the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, who want to require several doctors who perform abortions at the health center to submit to questioning as a condition of renewing the license.

“This means that more than 1.1 million women of reproductive age in Missouri will live in a state where they cannot receive the health care they need,” Planned Parenthood President, Dr. Leana Wen, said in a statement to NPR. “This is a world we haven’t seen in nearly half a century.”

Praying for more states to follow. Life is precious. Wonderful, so wonderful for the state of Missouri to take this brave stand against Abortion.
