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.

Trump Administration Pursues MFN Pricing for Prescription Drugs

By the end of 2025, 16 drug manufacturers had voluntarily negotiated and executed agreements to adopt Most Favored Nation (MFN) pricing for certain high-cost drugs.
