“Missouri’s lone abortion clinic got its abortion license renewed by the state this week after a yearlong fight with health authorities” USA Today reported.
“The state’s decision means the Planned Parenthood in St. Louis’ Central West End will be able to operate through at least 2021 absent further challenges. The move comes almost a month after a state administrative hearing judge rejected the state health department’s rationale for trying to take away the license last year. (The license has remained active throughout an appeals process.) The state health department claimed it had good reason to deny Planned Parenthood’s renewal application after discovering four botched abortions it said the clinic failed to report.”
