Planned Parenthood St. Louis resumes surgical abortions, while Missouri blocks others

Planned Parenthood on Thursday resumed surgical abortions in St. Louis, months after voters in November enshrined abortion rights in the Missouri Constitution.
Planned Parenthood on Thursday resumed surgical abortions in St. Louis, months after voters in November enshrined abortion rights in the Missouri Constitution. The same day, the state health department effectively blocked medication abortions throughout Missouri. The decision leaves abortion access in Missouri in a confusing state: surgical abortions are legal, but Planned Parenthood still cannot offer medication abortions. Planned Parenthood now offers surgical abortions in Kansas City, Columbia and St. Louis. Planned Parenthood Great Plains in February at a Kansas City area clinic performed the first abortion in the state since the fall of Roe v. Wade. A Columbia clinic restarted abortions earlier this month. The first abortion at the St. Louis center since 2022 occurred Thursday. “We stand ready to welcome more patients to ensure they can get the care they need, when they need it,” Great Rivers President and CEO Margot Riphagen said in a statement.
