A federal appeals court is stopping Missouri from stopping abortions at or after eight weeks of pregnancy.
The sweeping state legislation would also prevent abortions because a fetus has Down Syndrome.
The ruling came down Wednesday from the 8th U-S Circuit Court of Appeals after a lawsuit was filed by Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt says Wednesday’s ruling sets the stage for a review by the U-S Supreme Court.
