A Missouri judge issued an order Monday to keep a preliminary injunction in place allowing Planned Parenthood to continue performing abortions at its St. Louis clinic until 5 p.m. Friday, according to a statement from Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region. Patients with appointments scheduled for this week will receive care, the clinic said Monday.
Circuit Court Judge Michael Stelzer's order gives Planned Parenthood more time to challenge a decision by the Department of Health and Senior Services to not renew the clinic's license, which expired May 31. The canceled license applied only to abortions, not the other services offered by Planned Parenthood, according to department Director Randall Williams. If the clinic loses its license, Missouri will become the first state without an abortion clinic in almost 50 years.
