OFALLON, Mo.\u2014Missouris only abortion clinic will be able to keep operating after a state government administrator decided Friday that the health department was wrong not to renew the license of the Planned Parenthood facility in St. Louis.<\/p>\n

Missouri Administrative Hearing Commissioner Sreenivasa Rao Dandamudis decision means Missouri will not become the first state without a functioning abortion clinic since 1974, the year after the Supreme Courts Roe v. Wade decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn over 4,000 abortions provided since 2018, the Department has only identified two causes to deny its license,\u201d Dandamudi wrote, adding that Planned Parenthood has \u201csubstantially complied\u201d with state law.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, Planned Parenthood is entitled to renewal of its abortion facility license,\u201d Dandamudi wrote.<\/p>\n

A Planned Parenthood spokeswoman said the decision will mean the St. Louis clinics license is renewed through May 2021.<\/p>\n

It wasnt immediately clear whether the state would ask a court to overturn the decision. A spokesman for the attorney generals office, which is defending the health departments decision in court, said the office was \u201creviewing the ruling and deciding on next steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

An email message seeking comment from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services was not immediately returned.<\/p>\n

Yamelsie Rodriguez, president and CEO of Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region, said in a statement that the ruling \u201cis vindication for Planned Parenthood and our patients who rely on us.\u201d But she said Missouris abortion laws continue to make it difficult for women seeking abortions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn abortion license, while critical to our ability to provide care, still cannot undo the harm that medically unnecessary policies in our state inflict on patients,\u201d Rodriguez said.<\/p>\n

National anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser slammed the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnborn children and their mothers face dire health risks\u2013especially during a pandemic\u2013so long as the St. Louis Planned Parenthood is permitted to remain open,\u201d she said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The state refused to renew the license for Planned Parenthoods St. Louis clinic in June 2019, after an investigation turned up four instances<\/a> of what the state called \u201cfailed abortions.\u201d Planned Parenthood officials contend the state \u201ccherry-picked\u201d a handful of difficult cases out of thousands of otherwise successful abortions. They have accused the state of using the licensing process as a tool to end abortions in Missouri, a conservative state with a decidedly anti-abortion governor in Republican Mike Parson.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthoods challenge led to an administrative hearing in October.<\/p>\n

The wrangling over the license began after an investigator in March 2019 found that a woman had undergone an abortion that took five attempts to complete. William Koebel, director of the section of the health department responsible for abortion clinic licensing, testified that the clinic failed to provide a \u201ccomplication report.\u201d<\/p>\n

That led the health department to launch an investigation of other instances where women underwent multiple procedures to complete an abortion, Koebel said.<\/p>\n

As part of that investigation, the state obtained the medical records of women who had abortions at the clinic. They found four who required multiple procedures, including one in which the physician apparently missed that a woman was pregnant with twins. The woman underwent two procedures five weeks apart.<\/p>\n

The Administrative Hearing Commission agreed with the health department that Planned Parenthood should have filed a complication report for one of the patients and should have documented what it did to address the physician who missed that a woman was pregnant with twins.<\/p>\n
