Temporary orders have allowed abortion care to resume in Missouri for the first time in years. But a trial will need to take place to overturn the state's ban permanently.

Sometime after 10 a.m., Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood Great Plains performed the first elective abortion in the state since voters overturned the state’s ban in November. The moment also marked the first abortion at its Kansas City clinic since 2018.

The announcement followed a Friday court ruling that invalidated state restrictions a judge deemed "discriminatory" and "unnecessary."

Women in Missouri are expected to have access to abortion services within days, after a circuit court judge ruled business licenses imposed by the state on Planned Parenthood clinics were too onerous.

Republicans say that putting a new measure on the ballot to undo Amendment 3 is a priority for this legislative session.
