Missouri Department Sets New Standards for Abortion Clinics
What happened
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services set new operational standards for abortion clinics in Missouri. This action followed a rally hosted by the Her Health, Her Future coalition, which advocated for Amendment 3, a measure that would ban most abortions in the state.
