Missouri abortion amendment still up in the air after one month since election day [Video]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit in hopes to start providing reproductive health services on Friday is still in legal limbo as the amendment went into effect at midnight Thursday.

All parties invested in the Jackson County circuit court judge’s decision on a lawsuit will have to wait longer.

KCTV5 continues to cover this topic as voters restored reproductive freedoms at the polling sites a month ago. Since, Planned Parenthood sued to remove restrictions like a 72-hour waiting period, physicians administering abortions, in-person visits to get abortion medication, and reporting requirements.

Planned Parenthood President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson said there’s no room for a politician to be in the examination room as she was visiting their health centers Friday.
