Missouri 's Planned Parenthood clinics filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking to strike down the state’s current abortion restrictions, less than 24 hours after an amendment enshrining reproductive rights in the state constitution was approved by voters.

The news was announced Wednesday afternoon by coalition members of Missourians for Constitutional Freedom, the organization behind Amendment 3 .

If the court grants their injunction, they plan to start providing abortions the day the amendment goes into effect on Dec. 5 at the health centers in Columbia , St. Louis and the Midtown neighborhood of Kansas City .

Former President Donald Trump ’s victory means Missouri abortion-rights organizations may have more than just state anti-abortion forces working against them.

One example is federal enforcement of the Comstock Act , an 1873 law that bans mailing obscene material, including for the use of abortion.

Abortion access in Missouri will likely have ripple effects across the Midwest and south, opening up another access point.
