Missouri will not renew Planned Parenthood’s license to perform abortions unless the clinic fully complies with the state’s requests, said Governor Mike Parson during a press conference Wednesday. The clinic is the last one performing abortions in the state and its license is set to expire at the end of this week.

The governor claimed, “Planned Parenthood has been actively and knowingly violating state law on numerous occasions.”

“Regardless of if you support abortion or not, Planned Parenthood should be able to meet the basic standards of health care under the law,” Parson said. “They should not receive any exceptions because they are one clinic.”

In a statement Tuesday, the clinic said Missouri’s health department is “refusing to renew” its annual license. If the license is not renewed by May 31, Missouri would become the first state without a functioning abortion clinic since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.
