Crowell & Moring, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, ACLU of Missouri, and ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project Achieve Victory in Reproductive Rights Case in Missouri

Washington – February 21, 2025: Missouri health care providers will be able to resume abortion care after a Jackson County Circuit judge temporarily blocked the Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) last week. The TRAP restriction, Missouri’s abortion facility licensure requirement, had been left in place in a previous ruling and prevented providers, like Planned Parenthood, from resuming care, despite the state’s voters’ enacting an amendment on November 5, 2024, to enshrine a right to reproductive freedom in the Missouri Constitution. With this ruling, Missouri becomes the first state in the nation to restore abortion access after a total ban.
