STL Planned Parenthood fights for its license

(AP) — JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri’s only abortion clinic has taken a legal fight over its license to a state administrative panel.

The St. Louis Planned Parenthood affiliate on Monday filed a complaint against the health department with Missouri’s Administrative Hearing Commission. The panel handles disputes between state agencies and businesses.

Abortions at the clinic could end if the commission does not act before a court order protecting the procedure expires Friday. A hearing has not yet been set.
