Missouri Right to Life welcomes the Missouri Supreme Court Decision on Tuesday, ordering a Jackson County judge to vacate the preliminary injunctions that she had entered earlier this year in which she declared the Missouri abortion ban and all of Missouri’s health and safety regulations unconstitutional under Amendment 3.

This decision will save lives of preborn babies and the health and safety of Missouri Women.

Among the regulations that the judge had declared unconstitutional included requirements that:

• Only doctors perform abortions.
• Surgical instruments be sterilized before use.
• Doctors examine the mother to determine the gestational age of the unborn child and to identify any  medical risk before performing an abortion.
• Ultrasounds only be performed by licensed medical professionals.
• Abortion clinics have emergency trays and emergency supplies.
• Doctors obtain informed consent prior to performing an abortion.

The Missouri Supreme Court’s ruling came as a result of an appeal filed by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, utilizing the authority granted by the Missouri Right to Life backed Senate Bill 22, in which the Attorney General challenged the Jackson County preliminary injunctions.

The Missouri Supreme Court sent the case back to the Jackson County court with instructions to reevaluate Planned Parenthood’s request for preliminary injunction based on several criteria, including if Planned Parenthood would suffer irreparable harm without the injunction and also to balance that harm with any injury that an injunction would inflict on other interested parties.

Planned Parenthood had previously stated in court filings that they could not comply with the health and safety standards listed above and after the ruling stated they were cancelling abortion appointments and would cease abortions, the killing of innocent unborn children, until further order of the court.

This is a great victory for life!
