Planned Parenthood

Transgender people in Missouri brace for sweeping restrictions to take effect April 27.

The Republican-controlled Missouri legislature banned abortions in the state in 2022. But a U.S. Supreme Court decision could affect the availability the abortion drug mifepristone in the Metro East.

The attorney general demanded Planned Parenthood turn over a litany of records earlier this month as part of his investigation into allegations of misconduct at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

The Peoria Planned Parenthood clinic will be closed for several months after Sunday's arson fire.

In response to growing abortion restrictions, many health care providers report a rising number of patients seeking vasectomy care.

Planned Parenthood says it will provide abortions out of an RV-based clinic in southern Illinois by the end of the year. It will reduce travel time for some patients coming from surrounding states.

Across the country, some universities have weighed in on the new abortion landscape, but most St. Louis institutions have avoided taking a hard stance.

The clarification comes after a Kansas City hospital system said it would not provide emergency contraception in the wake of Missouri’s trigger ban on abortions.

Illinois will continue to be a haven for those seeking abortions as other states restrict access to the procedure after the U.S. Supreme Court's expected ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said during a visit today to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Fairview Heights.

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, a “trigger ban” in Missouri would bar abortions except in the cases of a medical emergency. Some GOP lawmakers want to pass an amendment specifying that there is no right to an abortion in the Missouri Constitution, either.
