A federal appeals court is scheduled to hear arguments today concerning the legality of Missouri's abortion ban. The legal challenge addresses the state's near-total prohibition on abortion procedures.
Planned Parenthood filed the lawsuit, asserting that the state's ban infringes upon constitutional rights. The court proceedings will examine the merits of these claims.
The arguments will determine the next steps in the legal challenge against the Missouri law. Full reporting is available from the original source.
