Temporary orders have allowed abortion care to resume in Missouri for the first time in years. But a trial will need to take place to overturn the state's ban permanently.

Abortion opponents had tried to block, or severely limit, the procedure, against the will of voters who in November enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution.

A judge ruled the state's abortion clinic licensing requirements were ‘discriminatory,’ opening the door for providers to renew access to the procedure.
