Planned Parenthood has filed a lawsuit against Missouri, seeking to repeal abortion laws in the state after a ballot measure on the issue got voter backing.

The lawsuit stems from the June 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, which returned the power to legislate abortion to the states. As a result, Missouri’s near-total abortion ban came into effect.
